The program features three powerful, award-winning films:

For Sama (Waad Al-Kateab & Edward Watts, 2019) – A deeply personal documentary chronicling life, love, and motherhood in war-torn Aleppo, offering an unflinching look at the cost of war on civilians.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Stanley Kubrick, 1964) – A razor-sharp satire that exposes the madness of nuclear warfare and Cold War paranoia.

Through these films, Masters of War invites audiences to reflect on the global consequences of violence and power struggles. Join us for thought-provoking cinema and discussions on the impact of war—historically, politically, and personally.
