‘The Cave’ Film Review : Syrian War Documentary from Oscar Nominated Director of ‘The Last Men in Aleppo’ by Shani Harris Feras Fayyad made history as the first Syrian filmmaker to earn an Academy Award nomination for his documentary “The Last Men In Aleppo.” Director Feras Fayyad immediately submerges the audience in the midst of the Syrian conflict with the opening shots of ‘”The Cave.” The imagery of war feels even more jarring, when a viewer watches the bombastic imagery of bombs pummeling the landscape. The sonic tapestry makes us hear the rumble of crumbling buildings. We immediately realize that innocent civilians are dying down below. Aerial drones show the devastating crisis that has arisen from the rule of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. “The Cave” was shot from 2016 to 2018
