Champion

Champion. This time the tournament returns to its modern and contemporary meaning, in a movie called: The Hero, within a Syrian circumstance, which referred "the concept of the hero" to the earliest ages: the knight, the fighter, or the martyr in battle. In "The Hero", a kind of treatment - which surprises us - happens to Syrian history now! How? Returning the hero to the "strong body", but .... within his modern context: as a sports hero. The championship is now in Syria, as it is in the world: for the athlete, with all the symbolic dimensions of the concept of "hero." In Syria, when this therapeutic "response" occurs through a cultural and epistemic medium as a film, we are not only facing a correction of society and concepts that have been devastated by war, but rather the resurrection of the soul, through a true myth made by the film in front of us; The legend of the hero athlete, who the jailer turned into a person unable to walk. But in the end, he recovers his "body" not only on his individual level, but also on the social and organizational level, in the form of the General Authority for Sport and Youth, and on the symbolic level as a Syrian person, taking his heroic heroism from under the "father's lion - the father's lion" to his speech and his free voice.
