Director Feras Fayyad follows a dedicated team of female doctors in a war-torn Syrian underground hospital, battling systemic sexism and treating casualties in unimaginable conditions. The film takes place in secret tunnels under the city of Ghouta, near Damascus, where survivors seek refuge from the dangers above ground. With artful cinematography, the film stands out from other Syrian documentaries and tells the story of Dr. Amani, a young Syrian woman who runs the hospital with humor and fortitude, despite facing skepticism from chauvinistic men who believe a woman's place is at home.
