ABOUT

Shattered Chains: Returning After ISIS is a short documentary based on the true stories of two women returning from Syria and Iraq. Produced by Machina Production for the Center for Common Ground, the film approaches a sensitive subject through human-centred storytelling.

As producer and director, I coordinated the production team, schedule and resources, and oversaw the project through post-production and delivery, as well as decided for the creative part and the directing of it.
The documentary received international recognition in 2024, including Best Film at the SEE Film Festival in Paris, an Honourable Mention at the Independent Film Awards in the UK, and Best Documentary Short Film at the Magic Silver Screen NYC Festival.
