Tomorrow SBS screens My Sister’s Wedding in War-Torn Syria, the personal travel diary of SBS Arabic 24 broadcaster Heba Kassoua.

Kassoua left her homeland Syria in 2005, along with her family.

In 2016, despite ongoing conflict in the region, her father decided to return home. Heba says “I thought the decision was crazy.”

Yet in 2017 she followed in his footsteps as she returned to the city of Sweida for a family wedding. Despite her initial hesitation, she ends up re-discovering a city that doesn’t look like the rest of the war torn country.

Saturday 24 March at 4:05 pm on SBS
