- Content:
The war in Syria seems as impenetrable as a black box - the conflict began almost ten years ago and even today many people in the West have the feeling that they do not even understand who exactly is fighting against whom. Black Box Syria highlights the regional and international levels of the conflict, as well as the core problem: the totalitarian dictatorship of a family clan. The war in Syria has been shown in some great and impressive documentaries, from the subjective point of view of individual people. The ARTE documentary Blackbox Syria - The Dirty War by Andrzej Klamt and Manhal Arroub takes a different, previously untrodden path. The film focuses on the complex causes of the Syrian conflict and analyses the geopolitical intentions of the actors involved in the war. It chooses a polyphonic narrative style and allows all parties involved in the war to have their say. "Black Box Syria" thus achieves something that is often lost sight of: The rational, political, understandable analysis of a conflict that really concerns us all.
