Celebrate The Story Won't Die premiering tomorrow with a new sneak peek

Documentaries can be life-changing if done properly. Fortunately for the movie heads and critics, The Story Won’t Die is just one of those heartfelt projects you get completely sucked into and mesmerized by from the amazing sound to what you see across the screen.

With the film set for a worldwide video on-demand release tomorrow (June 21), what better way to gear up for the release than with a scene from the documentary based on the Syrian crisis? Zone into the new flick ahead of tomorrow’s premiere.

From the documentary film THE STORY WON'T DIE, featuring the song 'Randomly' by Bahila Hijazi. With musicians Bahila Hijazi and Lynn Mayya, choreographer Medhat Aldaabal, rapper Abu Hajar and visual artist Diala Brisly.

THE STORY WON’T DIE, from Award-winning filmmaker David Henry Gerson, is an inspiring, timely look at a creative young generation of Syrian artists, using their work to protest and process the aftermath of what is currently the world’s largest and longest displacement of people since World War II. Produced by Sundance Award-winner Odessa Rae (Navalny).

Rapper Abu Hajar, together with other celebrated creative personalities of the Syrian uprising, a Post-Rock musician (Anas Maghrebi), members of the first all female Syrian rock band (Bahila Hijazi and Lynn Mayya), a breakdancer (Bboy Shadow) and choreographer (Medhat Aldaabal), and visual artists (Tammam Azzam, Omar Imam and Diala Brisly), use their art to rise in revolution and endure in exile in this new documentary reflecting on a battle for peace, justice and freedom of expression. It is an uplifting and humanizing look at what it means to be a refugee in today’s world, and offers inspiring and hopeful vantages of a creative response to the chaos of war.
