Eastern Ghouta: The Poisonous Silence (2026)

Set against the backdrop of a devastating nerve agent strike on August 21, 2013, Eastern Ghouta: Toxic Silence sheds light on one of modern conflict’s most neglected tragedies. The film weaves together intimate testimonies from seven locals across diverse occupations, mapping out how the poison cloud fractured communities and upended ordinary existence. Audiences confront harrowing survivor narratives, including the devastating stories of malnourished youths who suffocated after breathing a faint, deceptive apple-like vapor. Alongside these deeply personal accounts, the documentary delivers a sharp critique of international news outlets that largely ignored the unfolding humanitarian disaster, prompting viewers to question why certain war crimes failed to capture global attention.
