The Lions By The River Tigris + Talk
In Mosul after the destruction of the city by ISIS. Three men whose lives revolve around memory and forgotten culture: Bashar, a fisherman who wants to protect the ruins of his family home from looters. Fakhri, a former soldier and collector of Iraqi artifacts, who wants to save the artistic evidence of the past. Fadel, a violinist who has vowed to fill Mosul with music again after years of prohibition. The focus is on the contested doorframe decorated with lions, which becomes a symbol of both tenacity and the survival of culture.
