A ruin -- A perfect leader -- A democratic opening -- A coming of age -- A world purged by fire.
Summary:
"... a documentary video in five parts about competing visions of an uncertain future. Shot in 2005-06 in Damascus, Syria, each section of the piece--the chronicle of a building in downtown Damascus, documentation of an equestrian event, an interview with a dissident intellectual, a portrait of children learning the Qur£an, and the recitation of a vision beheld by a U.S. policymaker--offers a different perspective on what might come to pass in a place where people live between the forces of a repressive regime, a growing conservative Islamic movement, and shifting pressures from the United States."--Container.
