brutal

I just watched this doc and it is very heavy. I try to watch everything I see in 2017 with a grain of salt. The graphic footage of bodies of children tortured and murdered was relentless, but I wondered why they weren't spending any time explaining the villains point of view. Why are Assad and Russia blowing them up? Simple question. The doc alludes to the idea that Russia claimed to be helping eradicate "ISIS" at Aleppo - meanwhile no ISIS were there. How does Assad explain his actions, especially early on when torturing & kidnapping 11 year old's for disrespectful graffiti? Who were his army at that point? And how? Maybe that's an entirely different doc, but I thought the whole thing seemed one sided. And perhaps rightly so. They sure did look like the heroes throughout.

If this documentary doesn't disturb you, you have no soul

It first starts playing as a history of a war documentary but quickly turns into a story of humanity. This is the kind of story of war you usually watch ten years after it's over, not while it's still active.Be warned, much of the footage is graphic, it needs to be to describe the whole horrendous situation over there. If the world understands what's happened over there, we might be a little more compassionate for the people who suffered through this, especially the children.After WWII we looked back and wondered why we waited so long to get involved. In Syria much is already too late, but there's still time left to do something, something for the children and their cries for help.

In the words of the people of Syria

Be warned the images are extremely graphic. As some people have noted, this type of documentary is usually seen years after a war has ended. Astonishing what the Syrian people have faced. I happened to stumble on this documentary, completely clueless of what's going on in Syria. Whether you see things from the left or on the right side of politics this documentary is told by the people of the country, not news reporters or columnist. Be prepared to have your eyes open, many opinions on major news networks always put their own spin to influence viewers. This documentary highly recommend it to anyone that would like to be better informed of the current situation in Syria.
