YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA Syrian-American civil rights lawyer and an award-winning journalist, editor of Patriot Acts and EUROPA, Malek combines family and national history for this vivid account of Syria from its rule by the Ottomans through the to the rise of the Assad regime and the difficult decision her parents made to leave their country to make a new life in America. As adept at storytelling as she is at reporting and political analysis, Malek, awarded the Marie Colvin Award for Foreign Correspondence for her anonymous coverage of Syria for outlets including The New York Times, charts the devastating effects of Syria’s repressive rule, her fears for the future, and her hope to preserve the portrait of a country that is being erased by censorship, disappearances, and the refugee crisis.
