Blue Grey

Overview

Back at the place of his childhood in northern Mesopotamia, the author learns that this entire region will be engulfed in the waters of the largest dam built on the Euphrates in Syria. The filmmaker went there to capture the last images of the valley and daily life in the villages, which he had known well and where he had often returned to work, as part of archaeological missions. It thus testifies to a splendor doomed to be, forever, hidden from view.
