There she decided to embark in cinema, and contacted her friends Amiralay, Malas and Mohammad for guidance.

Hala lived near the Damacus Ciné Club, and used to discuss cinema with its owners at the time — Omar Amiralay, Moaammad Malas, and others.

After a time she felt the need to make movies herself, drawn by their potential for carrying a strong political message or advocating for a cause.

I Am the One Who Brings Flowers to Her Grave reflects her journey in cinema, the political message as a work of art.

Documentaries are essential to a developing country like Syria, in the eyes of Hala Abdallah, tools of liberation from the struggle that is lived every day.

Determination is a necessity in the field of documentaries to give them the true, brave and free feel.

A documentary must take a stand and defend it through he choice of a subject, the axis of treatment and the desired result.

With the return of Omar Amiralay to Syria, Maram CTV moved to Damascus with a new name; Ramadfilm.
