Film Essay on the Euphrates Dam (Arabic: فيلم محاولة عن سد الفرات) is the first film by Syrian documentary filmmaker Omar Amiralay. The documentary depicts the construction of the Tabqa Dam on the Euphrates. Amiralay made the film out of "sincere admiration for Ba'ath-led modernization", a position he would later reverse.[1]
