Syria’s Detainee Files

This chronicle of systematic enforced disappearances and torture under the Assad regime focuses on testimonies from former regime insiders and a survivor, Shadi Haroun, who spent nearly a decade in detention. Through extensive reporting over two years, the film reveals the complexities of the people involved in the oppressive system while providing a comprehensive account of the mechanisms of abuse, ultimately serving as critical documentation of the regime’s crimes as it faced its downfall in December 2024.
