Work produced within Syria and by Syrian exiles, presenting a deeper collective truth about life in the shadow of war.
Exactly five years after the Syrian conflict began, we don’t all pretend to understand its complexities but we do think we know what it looks like. Pro-regime troops, insurgents, ISIS fighters, besieged citizens and stateless refugees; all are familiar from our daily news sources. This special programme brings together work produced within Syria and by Syrian exiles in recent months, presenting a startling range of voices and a deeper collective truth about life in the shadow of war.
