Review of Salam Neighbor (2015) by Russell J — 02 Jul 2016
This movie undoubtedly surpassed the filmmakers' other excellent documentary, Living on One Dollar. It offers a look into the lives of Syrian refugees that is not only moving, but truly authentic.
Despite centering on such a stigmatized and controversial topic, Salam Neighbor does not rely on statistics-driven arguments to make its point. Instead, it places the people of the Za'atari Camp and surrounding area center stage, their testimonies and stories reminding us that the refugee crisis is first and foremost a humanitarian issue, rather than one of politics or economics, and above all, every human being has the right to a life of dignity.
