The Punishment: The Syrian who wanted the revolution

The Punishment is the third instalment of a series of short films we are showcasing this week. The Syrian Who Wanted the Revolution has been made by the Syrian cinema collective Abounaddara.

The films contain the testimony of a non-partisan young Aleppo man who, during the early days of the revolution, joined fellow Syrians in asking for their dignity - only to be detained by the Syrian regime, and thrown into the hell known as Sednaya prison.

The videos were produced and directed by the Syrian cinema collective Abounaddara, which has been posting short videos every Friday since April 2011, as part of the fight for freedom and dignity of all Syrians.
