Interview by Ahmad Noroozi - AHT - January 16 ,2019
Ahmad Noroozi: Why do you regard Syrians as your family?
Carla Ortiz: When you see a person for the first time in your life, and that person is willing to risk their lives to protect yours, it is how you get to discover what real love means. A family is built in trust and unconditional love! And I have experienced this love from a land worker, a soldier, a businessman, a child and every mother I have crossed paths with!
After spending that last three years on and off on the ground and living the war on my skin with them, it made them my family. I LOVE THEM with all my heart.
Are you planning to make another documentary on Syria other than "The voice of Syria"?
Yes, there are a lot of projects. I would love to make many more things, including fiction films.
You’ve been to Aleppo during the war; what can you tell us about the disinformation campaign against the Assad government during those days?
