“It is difficult to engage people about Syria, because it is so complex, and there are so many stories in the media depicting Syrians as passive and helpless. This ad is graphic and it presents the difficulty of the situation in a very real way.” – Jury of the Golden Radiator Award.
Today when we talk about Syria, the Middle-Eastern war-torn country, we usually talk about the 12.8 million people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance inside Syria. Or, many opt to discuss the alarming 50% percentage of the Syrian population currently displaced.
What makes this video different is it effectively raises awareness without any mention or depiction of statistics, politics, or gore. In about 2 minutes, you will have witnessed one of the most incredible and heart-warming stories of Syria. I am awestruck and almost in tears every time I watch the video.
