The sensation of a nation crumbling from within — not in slo-mo deterioration, but amid the chaos of widespread violence and political upheaval — is unimaginable to most people. Yet it’s something many will live to experience. Offering a primer of sorts in that grim prospect is “.” Made by the pseudonymous Lina, this very first-person documentary doesn’t offer a lot of explanatory background or big-picture commentary on Syria’s still-ongoing civil war.
Unfortunately, things turn in the wrong direction. The regime ramps up brutality against dissenters elsewhere, while maintaining a tight grip on Damascus, where things incongruously remain “business as usual.” Lina and “camera mate” Bassel visit Homs to record the violence there. The likelihood of arrest for such activities leads her to start adopting aliases: Lina remains “an upper class girl from the capital,” ostensibly apolitical, traveling simply to visit friends or family.
By the fifth “season” of her chronicle, Lina has become “a reduced reporter, a reduced activist, even a reduced person” — her connectivity to the outside world threadbare as Syria’s own air force bombs nearby neighborhoods, and eventually roadblocks prevent her accessing her home. After a trip to beleaguered Aleppo gets her imprisoned for six weeks, she’s released on her 30th birthday, realizing she’ll soon have to join the refugee exodus that will constitute a global crisis.
