The Syrian civil war told and filmed on each side of the front line. On one side, it is the story of Abu Hajar, 33 years old. This Frenchman of Syrian origin, boss of an IT company, is at the head of a battalion of five hundred revolutionaries. With the sword and the Koran, this Islamist who rejects the ideology and methods of Al Qaeda fights within the Free Syrian Army. Having become a charismatic leader of the Idlib region, he learned the art of war by reading Che Guevara and is preparing a major offensive against the regime… On the other side, in Bashar El Assad’s Syria, Jean-Pierre Duthion, a French businessman who has been an expatriate for five years, has decided to stay and act as a guide for the rare journalists authorized to come and film in this part of the country. In Damascus and Homs, he shows us a Syria ravaged by sectarian tensions, where attacks, heinous kidnappings, abductions by the State secret services reign, and where the elite lives entrenched in its gilded prisons.
Two perspectives, one tragedy.
