Hanadi Bazri

Hanadi graduated from Aleppo University with a diploma in dental hygiene, and currently manages an insurance branch in Saida. She also volunteers at the Blue Mission.

Hanadi says - "My film is about good memories always being interrupted by war... Whenever I dream to do something beautiful, war starts. When I was a child, the civil war started. When I was a teenager, the Israeli invasion happened and then my brother was kidnapped. When I needed my father, he died. When I fell in love, I also lost him. Although I can't forget these bad memories, I want to live happily and in peace."
