“As a youth, Donga filmed the Libyan uprising against Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, as well as later scenes of war in Libya. Through excerpts from his videos, he looks back on how the events have changed him.”
“There was excitement in the air,” says Donga, now in his late twenties, describing his feelings when the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi’s rule broke out in 2011. He was 19, living in Misrata, and boldly went to film the fighting with a friend. A decade later, in a hotel in Istanbul, where he has been living since he was wounded in battle, he looks back on the past ten years through excerpts from his videos. And he reflects on how that period has affected him.
