My Memory Is Full of Ghosts review – deeply moving visual hymn for the bombed-out Syrian city of Homs

Anas Zawahri’s documentary lays heart-wrenching testimony over languorous shots of bullet-ridden ruins and deserted streets The western Syrian city of Homs is only a husk of its former self. Previously a major industrial centre, the region became a key battleground between 2011 and 2014, for Bashar al-Assad’s army and rebel forces. Amid the immense bloodshed, hundreds of thousands of civilians were either displaced or trapped inside their own homes. Filmed in the summer of 2023, this deeply moving documentary from Palestinian-born and Syria-based film-maker Anas Zawahri maps out the collective trauma and sorrow that continue to linger, even after the shooting has stopped. Unfolding in languorous, largely static shots of bombed rubble, hollowed-out buildings, and deserted streets, the film lays bare the startling extent of wartime brutality.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s juror declares no one considered her ‘crocodile tears.’

One of the jurors who took part in the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard agreed on the condition of anonymity to comment on the sensational trial for the Good Morning America show.

For example, he shared his opinion about the emotions of Amber Heard, which seemed to many to be too feigned. Much of her story doesn't add up. Most of the jurors thought she was the aggressor.

The juror said. The meeting participant also noted that Johnny Depp aroused more confidence among the jury. Many jurors ended up finding what he was saying more believable. It just seemed a little more realistic regarding how he answered questions. His emotional state was remarkably stable all the time, the jury admitted. The trial was heatedly discussed on social networks, where many sided with Johnny Depp. Hurd, on the contrary, was criticized and harassed - Depp's fans even launched several petitions demanding to deprive the actress of roles. However, the juror said that he and his colleagues did not rely on the opinion of social networks. We followed the evidence. At least two other board members and I do not use Twitter* or Facebook**. Others who had them decided not to discuss social networks, the man said. The juror also commented on one of the most striking episodes of the trial, when it turned out that Amber still did not donate the $ 7 million received after the divorce to charity as promised.
