Al-Layth Hajj on the authority of Hatim Ali, he needed his Syrian passport to take back in a wooden box 

Among the epithets that most affected the heart of fans of director Hatem Ali, director Laith Hajjo spoke in his last mourning for him, and wrote:

During the days of our stay to prepare for the new work, and the few spare times that permeated the long working hours, Mr. Hatem spoke to me about the period of his stay in Canada, and about the desired life in light of a society governed by laws and regulations that guarantee a state of social solidarity, about the health and pension insurance system that guarantees the citizen a respectable old age. It keeps him away from want, from the systems and controls that govern the field of technical work, and the amazing ability to organize the smallest details in developing a clear and early work plan,

About the Artists Syndicate there and its real role in protecting the interests of its members and carrying out their duties towards them, about the traffic system, and the means of heating in the winter, about preventing the use of insecticides in order to preserve the natural balance and the right of organisms, even those harmful to life.

A few days before I traveled to Damascus and Beirut to make some necessary preparations for filming, I offered him to renew his Syrian passport, whose expiry date is about to expire. With him, he said: “Be careful, may God protect you, this is all my life.”

As soon as I arrived in Damascus, I renewed the passport with the help of some friends and the brother of Professor Hatem, and after completing it, he asked me to send the passport as soon as possible, even before my arrival in Egypt, so I sent it with my friend Badr Alloush, where he arrived two days before me with the passport. Characterized by the personality of Professor Hatem.

We did not know at the time that he really needed him so quickly, he was right… He needed this passport (his whole life…) to bring it back to Damascus for the last time, loaded with a wooden box and a passport for two years……. Valid for life.
