Documenting the Syrian Crisis
Donation protected
UPDATE: We are back from Amman, after ten days of non-stop filming. We captured some incredible stories of resilience, pain, loss, and strength. Thank you to everyone who contributed to our production campaign.
WE ARE STILL RAISING FUNDS FOR POST-PRODUCTION! Now that we have all our footage, we need to translate over 20 hours of footage in Arabic, jut in order to edit. We expect the translation to cost several thousand dollars, and are appealing for your help. The extra funding will allow us to find a translator and an editor who speaks Arabic.
This is a significant expense, and one we can use your help to achieve. If you have friends, family, colleagues who might be willing to help us out, please share the link!

Hi! We are three journalists, and graduate students at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism .
Next week, we head to Amman, Jordan to document the stories of Syrian refugee women – and we need your help getting our equipment there!
We're feeling prepared for our journey, but some last minute costs have put us over budget. In order to produce this project to broadcast standards, we need to urgently rent some costly camera and audio equipment, as well as insurance. Our equipment rental and insurance will cost $4,500 that we hope to raise with your help.
Without the proper gear, our ability to tell clear and engaging stories becomes compromised. We received a generous grant from UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism for our flights and lodging and translator fees, but we hope you can help achieve this last leg of the journey.
Collectively we write stories, make documentaries, and produce radio. We've collaborated with outlets like The Atlantic , the San Francisco Chronicle , Broadly , KQED.
In Amman, we will produce a series of radio and documentary pieces that cover how female refugees are increasingly having to take on the role as heads of households with their spouses deceased, back in Syria, injured, or fighting. Consequently, they are having to develop new skills to house, feed and clothe their families. Within this climate, women are at heightened risks of gender-based violence, sexual violence and sexual trafficking.
We will spend two weeks traveling between Amman, the Za’atari camp and the Azraq camp. We have some incredible sources on the ground who are willing to share their stories, and we need your help to make that happen!
We are so grateful for the continued investment in independent filmmaking and journalism, and we hope you can help us tell these important stories the right way!
With our gratitude,
Luisa, Hanna, and Lacy
