Original Title:

Return To Homs

Distilled from 300 hours of smuggled footage, this heroic account of the Syrian uprising lacks historical context and comes close to eulogising a radicalising activist and his singing goalkeeper sidekick. But the scenes of devastation are almost unbearable to watch.

A ferocious, devastating doc and a must-see for anyone seeking an insider's view of the Syrian uprising.
