The Cave (2019)

Nominated for Best Documentary Feature Here's your obligatory "everything is still horrible in Syria" update.

This documentary centers on Doctor Amani, a hospital administrator and pediatrician in the embattled region of Ghouta.  All she wants is to be able to care for patients but constant threats of bombings and chemical weapons attacks have driven the remaining hospital staff underground to a network of connected tunnels.  They are dangerously low on supplies with no shortage of victims to treat, but these doctors and nurses fight everyday to provide life-saving medical care.

One day Bashar al-Assad will die and Hell will be a little more full.  I don't know that his death will fix anything, but it will remove him from this earth and that can only be positive.

The Cave is currently streaming on Hulu.
