518    Originally produced by Torch Films in 2014. 
520    This devastating and highly important film depicts the 
       brutal reality of the Syrian Civil War as captured first-
       hand by both its victims and its perpetrators - or "1,001"
       ordinary Syrians. SILVERED WATER, SYRIA SELF-PORTRAIT is a
       rare poetic work that powerfully expresses the humanity 
       and perseverance of Syrians as it explores the topography 
       of their country torn by civil war that has left nearly 
       500,000 dead and 11,000,000 homeless. The film has been 
       recognized by important institutions as perhaps the most 
       artistically-accomplished documentary on the war to date. 
       Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival**, 
       **Toronto International Film Festival**, and **CPH:DOX 
       Documentary Film Festival**. *"The horrors of the war in 
       Syria and the siege of Homs are recounted with crude 
       realism and poetic imagination... giving the measure of 
       horror in Syria better than any documentary so far." - 
       **Hollywood Reporter*** *"SILVERED WATER'S greatest 
       achievement is to reel in the world's chaos and make it a 
       work of cinematic art. There have been other films about 
       the situation in Syria and sadly there will be more. Some 
       have been brave and powerful, but none have transcended 
       the document the way SILVERED WATER does." - **Bomb 
       Magazine***
