Simple As Water is a love story celebrating the bonds of family by Oscar-winning director Megan Mylan. Portraits of Syrian families filmed across five countries reveal the impact of war, separation, and displacement. “Anything but simple, manages to surprise and stun … Filmed with ambitious scope and devastating intimacy." 
—New York Times Critic's Pick 

Epic in scope but intimate and elegant in feel, SIMPLE AS WATER is a meditation on the elemental bonds between parent and child. A masterful look at the impact of war, separation and displacement, the film takes audiences into Syrian families' quests for normalcy and through the whirlwind of obstacles -- to building life anew. Filmed over the course of five years in five countries including Turkey, Greece, Germany, Syria and the US, Mylan's sensitive camera reifies the universal importance of family.
