Since the war in Syria began in 2011, more than 100,000 people have been disappeared or arbitrarily detained. The families they leave behind may move to safer places as refugees, but the search for their loved ones persists wherever they go. This award-winning short, animated documentary tells one of their stories.
The film follows a young mother of two whose husband was detained and disappeared by security forces in Syria. It takes the viewer on her journey as a refugee seeking safety in Berlin, depicting the daily struggles she faces as she tries to build a new life, care for her children, and continue searching for her missing husband.
Based on real accounts gathered by Syrian organizations working on the ground, Tomorrow We Continue shines a light on the limbo in which many Syrian families live—trapped between moving forward and holding on to hope.
The film has received international recognition, winning awards at the New York Human Rights Film Festival, Independent Shorts Awards in Los Angeles, and the Montreal Independent Film Festival, among others.
