There Are So Many Things Still to Say (Arabic: وهناك أشياء كثيرة كان يمكن أن يتحدث عنها المرء) is a Syrian documentary film by the director Omar Amiralay. The film was based on an interview with Syrian playwright Saadallah Wannous a few months before he died of cancer. Wannous, Amiralay's friend, speaks about his disappointment and grief relating to the Arab–Israeli conflict and the 1991 Gulf War.[1]
