 "The Syrian bride" The duration of the movie is 1.5 hours, starts at 3:00 pm on Wednesday the 18th of November. However, the story of the movie deals with a wedding in Syrian Golan Heights which is occupied by Israel and shows the troubles caused by this still unsolved situation. The Golan Heights is a strategic plateau and mountainous region at the south west of Syria. It comprises 1,850 square kilometres (714 sq mi) and includes mountains reaching an altitude of 2,880 metres (9,449 ft) above sea level. Israel has conquered the Golan Heights during the Six Day War in 1967. The United Nations, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Arab League, the International Committee of the Red Cross, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch consider the Golan Heights to be a Syrian territory occupied by Israel and not part of Israel. Syria has never stopped demanding that the land be returned, and in 2006, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on Israel to end its occupation of the Golan Heights, while declaring all the legislative and administrative measures taken by Israel in the Golan Heights null and void. |
