Overview

Sand and Blut shows the recent history of Iraq and Syria – from the perspective of those who have come to Europe in recent years. Whether it is the conquest of their own village by Syrian regime troops, the crimes perpetrated by various rebel groups or the destruction of their own parents' homes, war refugees can watch these tragedies in videos broadcast over the internet. The film consists exclusively of videos filmed by activists, fighters and civilians. The protagonists comment on the footage and speak openly about their experiences.
