Simple As Water

[DanaK]

Quote

Epic in scope but intimate and elegant in feel, SIMPLE AS WATER is a meditation on the elemental bonds between parent and child. A masterful look at the impact of war, separation and displacement, the film takes audiences into Syrian families’ quests for normalcy and through the whirlwind of obstacles — to building life anew. Filmed over the course of five years in five countries including Turkey, Greece, Germany, Syria and the US, Mylan’s sensitive camera reifies the universal importance of family.

HBO Documentary Films’ SIMPLE AS WATER, from Academy Award® winning filmmaker Megan Mylan (“Lost Boys of Sudan,” “Smile Pinki”), debuts TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16 (9:00-10:40 p.m. ET/PT). The critically acclaimed film celebrated its world premiere on closing night of the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival. The documentary will have a limited theatrical run before debuting on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
