Return to Paradise Documentary (ongoing)
“Return to Paradise” follows the journey of Mahmoud, a young Syrian who, after ten years of displacement, decides to return to his hometown Deir-ez-Zor to rebuild his life from the ruins. Shot between Europe and Syria, the film explores what it means to return — not only to a place, but to oneself. It weaves intimate observation with the political realities of war, exile, and reconstruction. The camera becomes a companion in this search for belonging and dignity amid the contradictions of a broken world. Ultimately, Return to Paradise is a meditation on resilience, friendship, and the human longing for home.
