An intimate story of a brother and sister who fought on
opposite sides of the Libyan revolution. Formally civilians, now militarized, they remain separated by ideologies but bound by their love of the family and the love of country as they attempts
to rebuild their lives after a revolution.
Filmed over six years, ‘After A Revolution’ is the challenging story of a brother and sister struggling to rebuild their lives after fighting on opposite sides of the Libyan revolution. Separated by their ideologies but bound by the love of family, and the love of their country, they attempt to rebuild their lives from the wreckage, devoured by trauma yet never giving up. Their epic, complex journey reveals at close range the psychological repercussions of conflict, modern-day intervention and proxy wars, yet at its core—it’s a story of family and survival.
