Stolen Revolution

How has the moderate and democratic Syrian revolution been taken over by Jihadists? Paul Moreira meets with a group of fighters from the Free Syrian Army, whom he previously filmed in 2011, to answer this question. This group of friends come from a region close to Edlib, and were rallied together by Jamal Maarouf, also featured in the documentary. They have all left the country. Now, they speak out on how extremists have hijacked their revolution, little by little.
