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.

In 2020, the USA experienced a multiple catastrophe: No other country in the world was hit so badly by the coronavirus pandemic, the economic slump was dramatic, and so was the rise in unemployment. A rift ran through society. In the streets there were protests of both camps with violent riots, authoritarian traits were evident in the actions of the leader of the nation. And all of this in the middle of the election year, when the self-centered president fought vehemently for his re-election. From the start of his presidency, Donald Trump had divided American society, incited individual sections of the population against one another, fueled racism, hatred, xenophobia and prejudice, insulted competitors and denigrated critical journalists as enemies of the people. The documentary shows how this could happen and what role the targeted disinformation of certain sections of the population through manipulative media played.
