On November 1, 2017 Residents gathered in Davis Hall to hear the stories of Ala’a Basatneh and Amanda Bailly, humanitarian activists dedicated to raising awareness about the ongoing Syrian War crisis.
The conversation was moderated by Jihan Hafiz, an Egyptian-Samoan journalist and award-winning documentary filmmaker whose many achievements include creating the critically-acclaimed documentaries “Benghazi Rising,” “Fists Up! Fight Back!” and “Son of War.” Among her awards, Hafiz received an Emmy for her sound recording work on the documentary about the Egyptian revolution “In Tahrir Square.”
Given her close ties to the Middle East and acute awareness of the challenges civilians in war-torn regions face, Hafiz asked heartfelt questions that struck a chord with I-House Residents. The passion and empathy in the room was perceptible as Basatneh and Bailly shared their stories of real-life terrors and tragedies on the ground trying to help Syrian refugees.
Basatneh had lived in Chicago nearly her whole life before she became a political activist at age 19. She heard about schoolchildren suffering in Syria, her birth country, and “all I saw was my laptop in my room,” she said. At that moment she realized, “This laptop [was] going to be the window to that world. That’s how I started connecting to activists and journalists on the ground” in Syria when the crisis began.
Basatneh’s documentary film, “#chicagogirl: The Social Network Takes on a Dictator,” made waves around the world upon its release in 2013. Basatneh wanted to make the film because, “We need to show the world what the [Assad] regime is covering up,” she said. “I will never give up.”
Bailly is an American currently living in Beirut whose documentary film “8 Borders, 8 Days” came out earlier this year and chronicles the dangerous, heart-wrenching journey of a Sham, a mother fleeing Syria alone with her two young children. Headed to Germany, they risk their lives to travel by dinghy boat across the Mediterranean. It had gotten to a point in Syria where the bombing and lack of basic resources was so bad that, as Bailly explained, “the prospect of living a dignified life is almost impossible.”
