— Filmmaker Ziad Hamzeh, director of the award winning and critically acclaimed feature films “Shadow Glories” and “The Letter: An American Town and the Somali Invasion,” has completed principal photography for his new documentary “Blood of Eden.”
Shot in hi-definition inside the walls of old Damascus, the famous Alsouk market area, the Kasioun mountains, Malola, the city of the Aramic langauge, and the House of Umber, “Blood of Eden” tells the story of the struggles and triumphs of Bouthaina Shaaban, an extraordinarily courageous woman of Syrian descent who battles the oppressive environment of religious fanaticism, political oppression, archaic traditions, and the rise of fundamentalist Islamic movements, to wage an international battle defending the integrity of women of the Middle East.
“Blood of Eden” is a Hamzeh Mystique Films production. Written and directed by Ziad Hamzeh. Produced by Hamzeh, Bert Brown and Marc Sandler. Editing is slated to be completed in December 2006 with a scheduled spring 2007 release date.
