THE WAR SHOW

MONDAY, JULY 3 @ 11:00PM

Syria’s Arab Spring, like other similar movements in the region, began with hope. In early 2011, autocratic governments throughout the Middle East and North Africa seemed to be on the verge of receding peacefully, and Syrian protestors massed to demonstrate against the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad. The uprising quickly gave way to conflict, however, and by 2016 the Syrian civil war had claimed 470,000 lives and displaced 11 million people.

The new documentary The War Show focuses on some of the idealists who joined the early Syrian resistance. (90 Minutes)
