BATATA

 Directed by Noura Kevorkian

The Peabody-winning documentary BATATA follows an astonishing 

10 years in the life of charismatic Syrian migrant worker, Maria, 

and her epic journey from pre-revolution days on the 

potato fields of Lebanon to life in refugee camps.

Syrian-Lebanese director Noura Kevorkian’s intimate camera captures an entire decade of marriages, births, deaths, all the while documenting the unbending spirit of a woman who puts family ahead of all else.
