Abstract:
Since 2011, an estimated 9 million Syrians -- half of them children -- have fled their homes due to the civil war. BORN IN SYRIA follows seven of these young, displaced children for a year witnessing everything through their eyes: their escape from Syria, their travel through the refugee camps in the Middle East, and their arrival into the promised land of Europe. With a soundtrack composed by Gabriel Yared, this feature-length documentary reveals how these children have fled unimaginable horror: the indiscriminate bombings of Bachar Al Assad's government, the brutal killing of rebels of the Al Nuzra front, and the Islamic State's raping and beheading, only to find themselves trapped in makeshift camps or closed borders.
