In 2011 Damascus, Samira becomes a prominent voice in the protests demanding political change. Charismatic and outspoken, she documents the events unfolding around her while thousands of miles away, a group of London academics follows her story and the revolution in real time. When Samira suddenly disappears, the distance between observer and participant takes on new significance.
