News Room - Syrians in Transition

The News Room is a slot for short documentary reportages that is open to diverse views, languages and narratives with contemporary relevance for Brazil and for the world. In this episode, the social dissatisfaction and uprising against the Government of Bashar al-Assad caused Syria to be devastated by violence. Even with the protests and sanctions imposed by the UN, the Syrian president does not give up power and the country undergoes a serious conflict. An ex-officer of the Syrian army exiled in Moscow, where he studies journalism, returns to his homeland in order to show the horrors carried out by Bashar Al Assad’s army.
