Doc Stories: Of Fathers and Sons

SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Phyllis Wattis Theater at SFMOMA (see times)
Director Talal Derki expected to attend!

Posing as a photojournalist who supports jihad, director Talal Derki takes extraordinary risks and gains vivid access to the family and life of 45-year-old Abu Osama, one of the founders of Al-Nusra, the Syrian arm of Al-Qaeda. The father of eight sons, Abu Osama is a fearsome example of those who believe firmly in violence as a means to an end. Scenes of the family's home life are interspersed with sweat-inducing moments involving jihadi camps for kids and a family outing to defuse bombs. Though certainly chilling at times, Of Fathers and Sons (winner of a Sundance Grand Jury Prize) is also a deeply compassionate portrait of young boys who are not given options over their lives and futures.
