#ChicagoGirl
From her childhood bedroom in the Chicago suburbs, an American teenage girl uses social media to coordinate the revolution in Syria. But just because the world can see the violence doesn’t mean the world can help. As the revolution rages on, everyone in the network must decide what is the most effective way to fight a dictator: social media or AK-47s. The film’s production team was one of the first to smuggle out high-definition footage from Homs, Syria as it became one of the most dangerous places on earth. Winner Youth Jury Prize IDFA. Winner Cinema for Peace.
