The Lawyer (working title)
Ammar, a lawyer and former Sednaya detainee, is determined to uncover the truth in a Syria still reeling from the fall of al-Assad’s regime. Haunted by the faces of the disappeared and his own experiences, he embarks on a mission to find answers.
While sifting through classified documents in Sednaya prison after its liberation from Assad’s control, he discovers records of enforced disappearances and deaths, revealing the regime’s brutality. For Ammar, these documents may hold the key to the fate of countless detainees.
Though the victims of the al-Assad regime span every sect and political background, Syria remains divided. Ammar’s search is about more than closure – it’s a defiant challenge to a narrative of fear, revenge, and division.
With each case he pursues, Ammar opens the possibility of justice and closure, offering families a chance to heal together, despite their differences, and laying the foundation for reconciliation in a fractured nation.
