Project Synopsis:

Freedom, dictatorship, religion, and gender equality are all questioned and compromised as the lives of Dalia, Suso, Ruby, and Lynne are caught up in the uprising of Damascus in 2011. The young women see their lives transform in front of them as the revolution gains momentum, and slowly discover who they truly are through their difficulties, differences, and political ambitions.

As an independent filmmaker and activist, Maya has directed three documentaries, and has been actively following the events taking place in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. “5 Seasons of Revolution” is her first feature length documentary.
