What happens
Al Basateen (international: The Orchards) ist ein französischer Dokumentarfilm von Antoine Chapon aus dem Jahr 2025. Zehn Jahre nach Beginn des Bürgerkriegs in Syrien reißt die syrische Regierung als Bestrafung Wohnviertel ab, um das neue städtebauliches Projekt Marota City umzusetzen. Im abgerissenen Stadtviertel gab es die ältesten Apfelhaine von Damaskus. Die ehemaligen Bewohner L. und Y. berichten. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
