This coming of age doc profiles Lebanon's first female metal band. SIRENSdoc Documentary metalbands

Through their music, the documentary leads us through different worlds. Some are relatable—five women working closely together while trying to maintain personal relationships with each other and outside the band. Others are the political situation in Lebanon and how its old-fashioned reforms clash with the younger generation. We follow Lilas trying to navigate her sexuality and Shery having difficulties discovering herself as a musician and young woman.
Sirens exceeds when it manages to capture the moments where the world of Slave of Sirens collides with the conflicting worlds around them. Lilas is having a conversation with her mother about their current living situation. Lilas’ mother tries to persuade Lilas to stay with her forever - or at least until Lilas marries and has children - whereas Lilas argues that she can take care of herself and that this “is no longer the 1960s.
