Zaid, a Washington-based journalist driven this time by a personal heart-wrenching mission: to find his mother, who along many others was lost under the rubble. On February 2023, a devastating earthquake struck southern Turkey and northern Syria, leaving a trail of destruction and countless lives in turmoil. 

 As a son, Zaid’s journey began as a personal quest in search of his mother, as journalist, he was a witness to the harrowing scenes of rescue efforts of the trapped victims in the chaos of one of the biggest natural disasters. 

Zaid did what he does best as à journalist, picked up his phone and documented these moments, and found himself transporting bodies to hospitals, and standing by Abu Naif, a Syrian refugee anxiously trying to find his wife and three children, including a six-month-old baby. These scenes are just glimpses into the lives of thousands of Syrians who fled the horrors of war, only to face the merciless war of nature- an earthquake that reshaped their reality. 

 Collaborating with a documentary filmmaker Zaid weaved these scenes into a powerful, feature-length documentary.
