LONDON: Game of Thrones actor Emilia Clarke, on Tuesday, rallied support for the Action for Sama initiative that calls to end the targeting of healthcare facilities in Syria.
The 34-year-old star shared a picture of herself with a painting with the caption, “It has been 10 years since the Syrian people took a stand for freedom and dignity.”
Tagging the London-based Syrian filmmaker Waad al-Kateab, Clarke shared that she had watched her story in a documentary. “I have seen the film FOR SAMA and I stand with Waad, her family, and the millions of Syrians fighting for peace and dignity.”
For Sama, directed and produced by al-Kateab, chronicles five years of her life during the Aleppo uprising. She falls in love, gets married, and gives birth to Sama through its length.
Clarke issued a call for action on her post, attaching a link to al-Kateab’s campaign website, Action for Sama, and wrote, “Head to actionforsama.com to show your support too #WeDareToDream.”
al-Kateab’s campaign website reads how her film has “the potential to engage millions of people with the true story of civilians and of a peaceful revolution crushed with force.”
“I want to spread awareness of the suffering of those living under bombardment and support the heroism of Syrian civil society.”
