Shahr Zaman(2015)

Shahr Zaman is a 2015 Syrian social drama centered on Joury, a news reporter who travels abroad hoping to reunite with her husband, only to discover he is violent, controlling, and entangled in illegal activities. Alongside her harrowing journey, the series weaves together parallel stories—including a doctor's effort to establish a children's hospital—that collectively explore personal struggle, social fracture, and the devastating toll of the Syrian crisis on everyday lives.
