Teenage Syrian Refugee Navigates Islamophobia, Multiculturalism in New Documentary
Colorlines reports on a new documentary. Dalya Zano and her mother Rudayna Aksh are but two of the millions of Syrians forced into exile by the country’s ongoing civil war. Their flight from Aleppo and adjustment to life in multicultural Los Angeles is the focus of a new feature-length documentary, “Dalya’s Other Country.” Director Julia Meltzer (“The Light in Her Eyes”) preceded the film’s public premiere on PBS’ “POV” Monday (June 26)* with a 13-minute short documentary and accompanying op-ed published by The New York Times yesterday (June 20).
