Awake, Son Of Assyria

Awake, Son of Assyria is a cinematic film created with intention and purpose using AI not as spectacle, but as a tool to carry memory, identity, and meaning across time. Commissioned by Assyriska FF, the national team of Assyria, the film draws inspiration from the words of Naum Faiq and follows a people whose legacy stretches from the great cities of the ancient world to the modern football pitch. Through knowledge, faith, resilience, and sport, the Assyrian story continues. Following the atrocities of the Sayfo genocide (1914), the Assyrian people were scattered across the world. Yet culture endured. Language endured. Memory endured. In this film, football becomes a point of unity, a living continuation of a people without a nation, but not without identity.
