Syria, the 'affected area' of the contemporary. There was the film (2014) a few years ago, and The War Show may be in the same context of being a film of self-portrayal. The protagonists of this film are Obaidah Zytoon- a radio DJ and co-director of this film-and his friends. When the Arab Spring of 2011 permeates into Syria and the ambience of the 40-years-old revolution towards the Syrian dictatorship rises, Obaidah and her friends participate in this revolution in their own way. But they start to lose faith along with the development of the situation. The well-known state of civil war and rampant terrorism strike Syria to bear refugees and become a barren land. However, depicts the matters we could not feel and acquires the unspeakable in the most personal level. This footage Obaidah shot while running and hiding vividly displays the brutal reality which can never be fully explained through the 'objective' sentences about the international situation. The camera delineates the conditions of Syria by becoming Obaidah’s flesh and mind. Preciseness could be identified from how she divided her film into 7 chapters to go through the current state of Syria. On the other hand, we finally realize that this film is a portrayal of hope and the lives that faded away when she calls out the name of her friends, one by one, on her fifth chapter, 'memory.'
