La guerra en Siria parece tan incomprensible como una caja negra: el conflicto comenzó hace casi diez años e incluso hoy en día muchas personas en Occidente tienen la sensación de que ni siquiera entienden exactamente quién está luchando contra quién. PBS presenta este documental en el que se muestra el origen del conflicto, su trascendencia internacional, así como el problema central: la dictadura totalitaria de un clan familiar. A través del testimonio de expertos internacionales de renombre como el ex embajador de Estados Unidos en Damasco, Robert Ford, el asesor del gobierno turco Ibrahim Kalin, el comandante en jefe de la oposición armada siria Salim Idris, y Sam Dagher, autor de la aclamada "Assad or We Burn the Country", el documental describe las etapas del conflicto y aclara los motivos detrás de esta guerra.

“Binxet – Under the border” is a journey between life and death, dignity and pain, struggle and freedom. It takes place along the 911 km of the turkish-Syrian border. On the one hand the ISIS, in the other Erdogan’s Turkey. In the middle the borders and one hope. This hope is called Rojava, only one point on the chart of a troubled region, a region of resistance and an example of grassroots democracy that speaks about gender equality, self-determination of peoples and peaceful coexistence.

As the forces of ISIS and Assad tear through villages and society in Syria and Northern Iraq, a group of brave and idealistic women are taking up arms against them—and winning inspiring victories. Members of “The Free Women’s Party” come from Paris, Turkish Kurdistan, and other parts of the world. Their dream: To create a Democratic Syria, and a society based on gender equality. Guns in hand, these women are carrying on a movement with roots that run 40 years deep in the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) in Turkey. GIRL’S WAR honors the legacy of Sakine Cansiz, co-founder of the PKK who was assassinated in Paris in 2013, and reflects on the sacrifices made by all of the women in the movement, who have endured jail, rape, war, and persecution in their quest to liberate their lives and sisters from male dominance. With scenes of solidarity, strength, and love amongst these brave women soldiers, GIRL'S WAR is a surprising story of Middle Eastern feminism on the front lines.

Desde que comenzara la guerra civil en Siria unos cuatro millones de sirios han tenido que abandonar el país huyendo de la violencia. Más de la mitad de ellos son niños. “2016. Nacido en Siria” narra el periplo de esos refugiados desde el punto de vista de los niños que viven este calvario: los abusos de las mafias, las inclemencias del mar, la incertidumbre sobre un futuro al que la gran mayoría se enfrenta apenas con lo puesto, y descubriremos que llegar a su destino es sólo el comienzo de una nueva odisea: la de la integración en una tierra nueva y, en muchos casos, hostil.
