Olly Lambert of our partner program Frontline decided to spend an extended period reporting from both sides of Syria’s war.
For five weeks last fall, Lambert criss-crossed the Orontes river which has now become a dividing line in the civil war.
He talks with anchor Marco Werman about how the once-friendly neighbors have turned into bitter enemies.
Lambert’s film for Frontline, “Syria Behind the Lines,” airs Tuesday, April 9, at 10 pm on PBS.
Our coverage reaches millions each week, but only a small fraction of listeners contribute to sustain our program. We still need 224 more people to donate $100 or $10/monthly to unlock our $67,000 match. Will you help us get there today?
