Syria: The World’s War Series 1
In this two-part series, Lyse Doucet tells the story of the Syrian war through extraordinary testimony from those who have lived through it on the ground as well as politicians who tried to shape events.
Part 1: 1
In this first episode, Lyse tracks of the first months of the uprising through to the chemical attack in Ghouta that finally revealed the reluctance of the US to intervene in the war, despite the crossing of President Obama’s ‘red line’ on chemical weapons. It starts by telling the story of two characters in Homs – one a protester, the other a government loyalist.
