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.

Excellent, powerful, well-done and important
An even stronger film than Afneevsky’s excellent “Winter on Fire”, he uses a similar strategy here. He films his own interviews and some footage of what is going on in the country. But the core of the documentary is first hand video footage from citizens’ cell phones and other cameras – images from those living and dying on the front lines – bringing the tale a powerful immediacy.

The story is truly tragic, as a hopefully attempt for an Arab spring type peaceful uprising against the long standing violent and dictatorial leadership of Assad (the film includes footage of his torturers at work) devolved quickly into brutal civil war as the government uses any means necessary to subdue it’s citizens — including devastating chemical weapon’s attacks (again, among the often very brutal footage in the film).

At the same time ISIS came to the country promising to ally with the people, but quickly revealed their own murderous ways as they attempt to take over large areas of the country and impose themselves as draconian strongmen despots, killing anyone who won’t do their bidding or live by their rules. So now for the people of Syria, their cities and society are being decimated by two groups of monsters simultaneously. Meanwhile, the world does shockingly little to help the rebels. As Russian planes go on bombing raids to help bolster their puppet government, the US and US look on with horror, but don’t seem to be trying to even get the rebels supplies, much less to fight for or with the, or even to send a meaningful peace keeping force.

What makes the film really stand out is how it works as an emotionally devastating account of human suffering, while still doing a better job than any documentary or news report I’ve seen to simply make clear exactly what is going on, and whom is fighting with whom in the Syrian nightmare.
