We are thrilled to announce that our "Why We Speak: Help Spread Syrian Stories" project has been fully funded, and we could not have done it without your support.
Our work documenting human rights abuses suffered by Syrian refugees began nearly three years ago with the production of our short film Three along with a series of short videos on our site.
We deepened our look into the lives of Syrian refugees with the production of Beyond the Borders (working title). Beyond the Borders provides exclusive access to important stories in a region that is on the fringes of hell. Shot over 18 months on the borders of Syria, this film tells the story behind the news reports and is a reflection of the strange, chaotic lives of the people living in the shadow of the Syrian war. The film is an intimate look at how four Syrians whose collective struggles constitute the new frontline of the refugee crisis as they try to find ways to overcome the torment of their shattered lives.
Now that funding is complete the film is entering the final stages of post production, after which we will be able to set goals for a release date. We hope that all of you will keep an eye out for the film and any extant videos we create from the footage that did not make it into the feature film.
Thank you so much for believing in 3 Generations and funding our work and vision.
Best,
Jane Wells, the Scott Sisters, and the rest of 3 Generations
