Celebrating a new wave of political songwriting at the heart of it is the amazing Nadine Shah who gives a moving tribute to Ragda from A Syrian Love Story. I just sent Ragda the link and she sent you a beautiful voice message Nadine. I will forward it to you bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09…

#ASyrianLoveStory friends - the World Premier of Sean McAllister's new film has just been announced 👇🏽 x.com/sheffdocfest/s…

@BBCFOUR Sean McAllister (Dr Doc) one of the best documentaries I have seen for a long time. Incredibly powerful story of love, bravery, belief, powerlessness, displacement and politics. A compassionate and insightful view of Syria that we rarely see.

My thoughts this morning are still with A Syrian Love Story by Sean McAllister (Dr Doc) Remarkable story of Ragdha, Amer & their family's struggles, bravery & love. It will stay with me for for a very long time.

Great news! You can watch A Syrian Love Story on BBC iPlayer for the next 27 days... bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06…
