A new documentary addressing the life journey of the Syrian artist Duraid Lahham is being prepared.

The Egyptian director Maggie Anwar, who previously prepared a similar work on Faten Hamama’s life, is currently working with Lahham as they are meeting in Damascus to make decisions about the film.

The director headed from Cairo to Damascus specifically to look at Lahham’s house and his neighbourhood “Al-Kharab” in Old Damascus.

Lahham is also deciding on different drama work projects in Syria and Lebanon, and plans to perform in a Syrian film produced by the General Organization for the production of film.
