Winner of the Documentary Peoples’ Choice award at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival and widely tipped for next year’s Best Documentary Feature Oscar.
Witness Oscar nominee Feras Fayyad’s stirring portrait of courage, resilience and female solidarity. For besieged civilians, hope and safety lie underground inside the subterranean hospital known as The Cave. Following three women as they contend with daily bombardments, chronic supply shortages and the ever-present threat of chemical attacks, The Cave is an unflinching story of the Syrian war and some of its most unlikely heroes.
