You say problem, I say challenge
You say can’t, I say can
You say impossible, I say possible
You say never, I say one day
You say 10 %, I say 100 %
You say maybe, I say definitely
You say O.K., I say WONDERFUL!

'The west has decided the Arabs picture in movies and TV series and now it is our own turn to redraw this picture.'

Syrian director Najdat Anzour

'I believe that the Arab world is never going to be a united nation, as had been hoped in the Arab Revolt, but something in a more modern context, similar to Europe. It is the only way. We have developed within each part of the Arab world our own identities, and unity in the future must be a unity of sovereign equals.'
