Description
In May of 2012, Janine di Giovanni travelled to Syria; she began reporting from both sides of the conflict, witnessing its descent into one of the most brutal conflicts in recent history. Speaking to those directly involved in the war, di Giovanni relays the personal stories of rebel fighters thrown in jail; of children and families forced to watch loved ones taken and killed by regime forces. Stories of the elite holding pool parties, trying to deny the human consequences of the nearby shelling. It is an unforgettable testament to human resilience in the face of devastating, unimaginable horrors.
