Mariam Al-Dhubhani and Mohammed Al-Jaberi's love story defied all odds. The young couple met by chance in Yemen鈥檚 capital, Sanaa, but almost immediately Mohammed moved abroad. They began a long-distance friendship which turned into love, even having an engagement party while they were in different continents. Before they could be reunited at their wedding, they were kept apart once more, this time by civil war, putting their lives and futures at risk. Mariam and Mohammed would eventually get married under the most perilous circumstances, and not long after, they would face heart-breaking loss that would test the strength of their relationship. Only by pressing the record button and opening up in front of a camera could Mariam and Mohammed truly unpack all that they had experienced and find their way back to each other.
