Syrian radio DJ Obaidah Zytoon and her friends are caught up in the revolutionary energy of the Arab Spring, taking to the streets to protest the government and road tripping to where the action is. Along the way, they fall in love, adopt a dog, make a pilgrimage to the ocean, and learn how much they are willing to sacrifice for a new Syria. But as the hopeful bloom of the revolution fades, Zytoon’s camera continues to bravely document their lives — including the bittersweetness of exile for those lucky enough to escape. The destruction, both psychic and physical, is immense but never quite manages to extinguish the spark of life that these young people hold tight. The War Show reminds us of the dangerous necessities of keeping the cameras running and celebrates the persistence of its subjects.(AV)
