Simple as Water

Epic in scope, but intimate in feel Simple as Water is a meditation on the elemental bonds between parent and child from Academy Award-winner Megan Mylan (Lost Boys of Sudan, Smile Pinki). A masterful look at the impact of war, separation and displacement, the film takes us into Syrian families' quests for normalcy and through the whirlwind of obstacles – to building life anew. Filmed in Turkey, Greece, Germany, Syria and the US, Mylan's sensitive camera reifies the universal importance of family. (Home Box Office)
