Maarouf
Maarouf, a boy who dedicated his life to his family.
At the age of 15, he joined the military to serve his country.
After rigorous military training until the age of 18, he was taken hostage on his first mission.
Thus begins a fight for life and death.
How long can a person withstand violence?
How long can he endure a life in agony?
Tears of pain, sadness and hope.
The fate of a young man, a dream worth fighting for.
Will Maarouf make it through this rocky road to freedom?
Will he escape this hell?
The incredible story of a man
who was abandoned by his homeland.
Written after a true story.
