🎗️May Skaf🎗️ was a Syrian actress, born in Damascus. She had a distinguished career, and acted in many films, plays, and series. She also founded the Teatro Institute of Performing Arts in 2004. #100faces #9yearsstrong 
Even before the Syrian Revolution, May Skaf was known for her opposition stances as she signed the "Damascus Declaration" in 2005 and then threatened to cut her tongue to make people see what was happening in Syria.
In 2011, she participated in demonstrations calling for the downfall of the Assad regime. She insisted that artists had an essential role in being the loud voice of the people, and called all artists to participate in the Revolution to avoid more bloodshed.
May Skaf was forced to flee Syria in 2013 as she was pursued by the regime, and went to France, where she settled until she passed away in 2018.
May Skaf aspired to establish a civil, democratic country ruled by the law, and kept this hope until the last day of her life. Two days before her death, she wrote on her Facebook page “I won’t lose hope... I won’t lose hope... It’s the great Syria, not Assad's Syria." 🙏✊🏼
