Facing Mecca (2017)
9/10
Our tragedy has to be seen in this short film ..
10 January 2022
I am Syrian, like the lead actor Jay Abdo. First I want to thank all who worked on this beautiful film, including our star Jay and his fellow European actors and producers. This is a small demonstration of how we've become; even preferring to be buried out of our home country over being sent there because unfortunately, even dead people are prone to injustice in Syria. The plot is about Fareed who wants to bury his wife in the Islamic way (facing Mecca literally), but he faces different opinions about that instead.

As Muslim refugees in Europe, we really have this conflict between people who can understand and accept us the way we are, and others who have a difficulty in accepting our different culture. Overall, the film was fair to all parties and was very good. I hope our problems end and we all come back to our homes!
