VOICED : In Damascus a Cinema Paradiso struggles

The video discusses the challenges faced by a cinema in Damascus, managed by Jalal for 15 years. Despite its historical significance, the cinema struggles with a lack of customers due to violence and checkpoints, preventing modernization. The outdated projection equipment limits the screening of new movies, and only a few patrons watch older films. However, some customers still enjoy the peaceful environment. With many cinemas closing, Jalal considers himself fortunate to remain open.
