The Syrian revolution was carried by those who risked everything, who spoke out, and documented the truth.
Many have disappeared, others are still here to tell us what they have seen and lived through.
Meet the people who agreed to speak to us and appear in front of our camera when Assad was still in power.
The #LittleSyria team is grateful for their trust.

A #documentary by Madalina Rosca and Reem Karssli
As of 2024, we have widened our socio-political scope and transformed our local cultural center into an International Community Center. We believe that the challenges facing humanity demand for good people to stand together, to connect transgressing social boundaries and physical borders and in the place of singularity, fear and anger, and the feeling of pointlessness, create community.

European Union funding Turkish torture centers
"He ended up in an EU-funded center in Kayseri, central Turkey, “where we were subjected to severe torture, including beatings … and detention in refrigerators.” Every three days, he said, “policemen came to the detention center, and beat the prisoners. They put some of us into the refrigerator and kept us there for hours. I spent six hours in this refrigerator.”"
