,” his harrowing look at a team of female doctors tending to the wounded in the midst of the Syrian War, to the screen.
“I had to move between places every three days,” said Fayyad. “If I stayed, I could be kidnapped or targeted.”He also had to be careful to ensure that his footage didn’t fall into the wrong hands. He was worried that if it did, the Assad regime could figure out the location of Dr. Amani and the hospital and bomb it.
Making things all the more complicated and risky was the fact that Fayyad had already been imprisoned on multiple occasions, during which he was tortured by Syrian authorities. His previous work, “Last Men in Aleppo,” a look at a volunteer search-and-rescue group in the bombed-out Syrian city, painted a devastating portrait of a country in crisis, one that didn’t endear him to the Assad regime. He was a marked man.
In a joint statement, Al Shami, Sulaiman, and Eyad said, “While we were filming the events in ‘The Cave’ we were often faced with two options: whether to document the great suffering that was taking place in front of our very eyes, or to put our cameras down to help the injured and the victims. There were countless times we would stop shooting in order to assist the paramedics in transporting the wounded.
