Children of Syria
Nominee: Best Single Documentary, BAFTA TV Awards, 2015
“Its devastation is cinematic and beautifully shot, if it is not too wrong to talk of beauty here” The Guardian
Featured in BBC’s 2014: The Big Stories
Syria’s war has destroyed the lives of its children; it has been a war on childhood. With unique access across the frontlines, the film followed six children over the first half of this year and offered the first comprehensive look at the damaging effect of the conflict on the children of Syria. Presented by the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet, the documentary provides an intimate and chilling portrait of the children, as they are transformed by the war of our time.
