    The Brief In: One year of a free Syria
    Dec 12 2025

    On this special episode, The New Arab Head of News Paul McLoughlin welcomes Syrian filmmaker-journalist Waad Al-Kateab, co-creator of the acclaimed documentary For Sama (98% on Rotten Tomatoes, Oscar and BAFTA nominated), and Syrian political scientist Azzam Al Kassir.

    They reflect on their personal journeys, their work and what the first anniversary of Bashar al-Assad’s fall means today. Their conversation weaves together frontline journalism and deep research to explore Syria’s past, its trauma and glimpses of hope.
