Military parades and celebrations have been held across Syria to mark the first anniversary of the fall of Bashar al-Assad, and the end of a five decade dynasty of iron-fisted rule.
Assad’s downfall last December came as a shock as he was overthrown by rebel forces.
The new interim President, and former Jihadi leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa now rules over a country fractured by 13 years of war, with ongoing sectarian violence, cities in ruins and a stable future far from guaranteed.
For filmmaker and activist, Waad al-Kateab, who documented the atrocities under siege in Aleppo for Channel 4 News and in the Oscar-nominated documentary ‘For Sama’, today is much more than ‘an anniversary’.
This year, she returned to Syria - along with her husband Hamza, a doctor to find her country broken, but with at least some hope of healing.
This is the story of their homecoming, filmed by Fadi al Halabi.
Warning: there are some distressing scenes in this report.
