The end of a war is never an end. A mother's private diary takes us on a poetic journey through the lives of the many children who have fled the ISIS war and whom the world has forgotten.
After years of working for various international networks, in 2014 I decided to focus on projects that I felt were mine, moving from a journalistic approach to more artistic storytelling. I first made "Bare-Handed", a short documentary published by The Guardian, and then, in 2021, "War is over" (73'), which premiered at the Roma International Film Festival 2021. Reviewed as "a cinematic poem about the universal resilience of the human spirit", "War is over" was awarded at the Nastri d'Argento 2022 - Italian Critics' National Award.
