For besieged civilians, hope and safety lie underground inside the subterranean hospital known as the Cave, where pediatrician and managing physician Dr. Amani Ballour and her colleagues Samaher and Dr. Alaa have claimed their right to work as equals alongside their male counterparts, doing their jobs in a way that would be unthinkable in the oppressively patriarchal culture that exists above.  Following the women as they contend with daily bombardments, chronic supply shortages and the ever-present threat of chemical attacks, The Cave paints a stirring portrait of courage, resilience and female solidarity.About the Director: Nominated for the MPSE Golden Reel Award for sound design, Peter Albrechtsen is known for his work on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Dunkirk and Idealisten.He’s a sound designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark and graduated from the Danish Film School in 2001, and since then has been working on features and documentaries, both Danish and international productions.
