With the Syrian conflict now in its sixth year, millions of people continue to be displaced. “After Spring” is the story of what happens next. By following two refugee families in transition and aid workers fighting to keep the camp running, viewers will experience what it is like to live in the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan. With close to 80,000 Syrian refugees living in the camp, it is the largest camp for Syrian refugees and  the second-largest such camp in the world. With no end in sight for the conflict or this refugee crisis, everyone must decide if they can rebuild their lives in a place that was never meant to be permanent. “After Spring “ had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2016.
