Over a year later, with thousands dead and counting, the ongoing conflict in Syria has become a microcosm for the complicated politics of the region. Against the backdrop of the Arab Spring and NATO’s toppling of dictator Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, this documentary film seeks to explore the Syrian conflict through the humanity of the civilians - women and children, families and whole communities – who have been killed, abused, and displaced to the squalor of refugee camps. While focusing on the plight of those caught in the crossfire of the hegemons, the film seeks to unravel the conflict by exploring the motivations of its actors: the Ba’athist regime of Bashar al-Assad, the Free Syrian Army and other geopolitical players like the United States, Israel, Russia, China, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey and the Gulf countries.
