Evgeny Afineevsky And Kholoud Helmi Discuss Their Documentary, "Cries From Syria" Video:
Director Evgeny Afineevsky (Academy Award Nominee for 2015’s "Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom") and Kholoud Helmi discuss their film "Cries From Syria," a cinematic monument and tribute to the Syrian people whose bravery is an inspiration for all humanity. Five years ago, the Syrian people rose up against the dictatorial rule of President Bashar al Assad. Public protests sparked by innocent children who were brutally tortured led to violent crackdowns. Before the long civil war was underway, the Islamic State and others groups stepped in and started seizing Syrian territory which made matters worse. Stranded between the opposing forces in the conflict, over 6 million people have desperately tried to survive by fleeing the country. Interview at 692 Broadway in NYC for BUILD Series.
