In the framework of the 13th Lemesos International Documentary Festival the Goethe-Institut Cyprus invites you to the screening of the awarded documentary Of Fathers and Sons by Talal Derki , which it has been produced in Germany.
Following his awarded documentary, Return to Homs, Talal Derki returns to his homeland with Of Fathers and Sons, where he gains the trust of a radical Islamist family, sharing their daily life for over two years. Disguised as a sympathiser, he follows the al-Nusra warrior Abu Osama and his eight children, who are trained in extremism tactics from an early age.
“Of Fathers and Sons succeeds in transporting us behind “enemy” lines for a rare glimpse of a world that seems exotic and threatening” – screen daily
