Sand and Blood

Sand und Blut

Directing: Matthias KreppAngelika Spangel

Synopsis

"It was paradise. Now it's hell."

SAND AND BLOOD combines a montage of Found Footage from various online platforms and the voices of Syrians and Iraqis, commenting the video material. Each of them is given the opportunity to explain their own viewpoint: young Iraqis look back with nostalgia on the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein, which at least offered them some degree of predictability, Syrians, peacefully demonstrating during the Arab Spring, reflect on their hopes painfully destroyed by history, rebel fighters open up with alarming candidness about their experiences.
SAND AND BLOOD weaves individual stories and opinions together in an astoundingly dark, moving and informative tapestry that ultimately forces the viewer to question the very nature of good and evil,victim and perpetrator.
