Syrian Bride

March 12th, 2009  |  by Alive Mind Education  |  published in Film Info, Films Q-S, Syrian Bride

Mona’s wedding day may be the saddest of her life. Once she crosses the border between Israel, where she lives with her family in a Druze enclave, and Syria, where her new husband is waiting, she will never be allowed to visit her family in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Syrian Bride is a poignant portrait of family life and gender relations in a region divided by political and military borders where all relationships are defined by ethnic identity.

"The film juxtaposes footage ....with discussions of “soul force,” defined as the spiritually-motivated, nonviolent forms of resistance associated with Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., among others. A solid discussion starter, Fierce Light is recommended."
-Video Librarian September/October 2009

"...The Gates makes clear that a lot of folk found Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Central Park enterprise both beautiful and moving. Recommended.
-Video Librarian September/October 2009

"Narcissistic or not, the breakthroughs experienced by some of the participants seem real enough, although Morgan neglects to disclose how much individuals paid for the privilege. The Workshop is recommended for academic human sexuality studies."
-Video Librarian September/October 2009
