A Syrian Love Story is a 2015 British documentary by Sean McAllister, detailing the hardships of a family in modern-day Syria.

At ages four and fourteen, their children Bob and Kaka have already spent their whole lives watching either of their parents go to prison for their political beliefs.

Filming began in 2009, prior to the revolutions in Arab countries – at the time, Raghda was a political prisoner and Amer was caring for their children alone.

It was filmed in the Yarmouk Camp in Damascus, infamous for its treatment of inhabitants, which included starvation.

'[4] Trevor Johnston of Time Out gave the film four stars and said, ' ‘A Syrian Love Story’ presents us first with the gnawing anxiety of life under the ruthless Al-Assad regime, then the fresh challenges of a fractious, painful exile where damaged minds take time to heal, before we finally see the household become distant observers to the destruction of their homeland and the deaths of many friends.
