Hi, this is Rania Ali. I am a Syrian filmmaker, public speaker, writer, and human rights, climate change, and mental health advocate. My passion is to create spaces for thoughtful and provoking storytelling.

I’m based in Vienna, and much of my work has been inspired by my own life story.

My journey with filmmaking began at the age of 17 in my war-torn hometown of Raqqa, Syria where I worked on documenting human rights violations committed by Al Assad Regime and the various fighting groups. I made my first award-winning documentary with The Guardian and did my first TED talk in 2017.

I’m currently available for collaborations.
