Length

Over thirteen years of revolution, war and exile, a Lebanese journalist and a Syrian activist document their love story through text messages, voice notes and footage from the front lines.

Working from a London newsroom, Janay reaches out to Abd Alkader for footage from inside besieged Aleppo, and what begins as a professional connection quickly deepens. Drawing on a vast personal archive, Birds of War traces a relationship shaped by distance, danger and the relentless pull of conflict. As the political landscape shifts around them, from Syria to Lebanon and beyond, their dual roles as journalists and lovers become impossible to separate. Every new crisis tests what holds them together, capturing the deeply human need for connection amidst truth, propaganda and the chaos of conflict.
