São imagens impressionantes captadas pelo reporter Olly Lambert. Um bombardeamento a vila de Al-Bara na Síria em Abril deste ano e está entre os vencedores dos prémios Rory Peck.

Pouco mais de trinta minutos de tragédia humana, crua, brutal que aconteceu e ainda acontece naquele país do Médio-Oriente.

Para reflectir.

[Warning: Graphic violence] On Oct. 28, 2012, while FRONTLINE's Olly Lambert was filming an interview with a Syrian rebel leader in the village of al-Bara, a regime airstrike hit barely 300 meters from where he was standing. He kept the cameras rolling, spending the next hour documenting the strike's impact. This film, narrated by Lambert, is a rare, immersive portrait of the immediate aftermath of Syrian government air strikes on civilian populations.

That night, I walked down to our little supermarket to buy cigarettes. The men at the counter pointed at my jeans and asked why I was so dirty. I said “al-Bara,” and pointed vaguely towards the north. I think they understood. An old man pulled up a chair and sat right next to me while we smoked in silence. His sleeve was touching mine. The shopkeeper came out and handed me a little bottle of orange juice. He’d opened it for me and had put in a straw. There was something about this gesture that broke me. I just looked at the ground and started crying. I didn’t try to hide it. It was the first time in a while I’d felt normal.
