We are excited to kick off 2025 with our first film of the year, in partnership with Modern Films: NEZOUH, directed by Soudade Kaadan.
NEZOUH tells the story of 14-year-old Zeina and her family, the last residents in their besieged hometown of Damascus, Syria. When a missile rips a giant hole in their home, the outside world becomes visible for the first time. A rope is mysteriously lowered into the hole, giving Zeina her first glimpse of freedom and a world full of unimaginable possibilities.
As violence escalates outside, the family faces pressure to evacuate. However, Mutaz, Zeina’s father, insists on staying, refusing to embrace the uncertainty of life as refugees. Torn between safety and her father’s resolve, Zeina and her mother, Hala, must decide whether to stay or leave.
On January 15th, FFC members will come together for a film chat roundtable to share thoughts and ideas on the film followed by an intimate Q&A with director Soudade Kaadan. Expect plenty of inspiration and words of wisdom! This Q&A will provide an abundance of advice and motivation to benefit each member's individual film journey.
At the FFC, we exclusively select films that inspire and drive change. We chose EZOUH as this months film as it beautifully illustrates the power of visualization and imagination to transform perspectives and inspire change. This powerful narrative, seen through the eyes of a young girl, resonates with the principles of our FFC mindset events and our Visualisation Challenge. It’s a story that highlights how envisioning a different reality can help us rise above our circumstances.
Join us for an evening of inspiration, learning and opening your minds to new perspectives We can’t wait to see you there!
