Contents/Summary

Summary
Amer and Obaydah are new media activists of the Syrian Revolution. Living outside Syria, they spend most of their time spreading information about the events in the country using a variety of social networks and online platforms. They devise new ways of working with digital technologies, cooperating with other activists, refugees from Syria, as well as other social groups trying to bring about a change in the country while the civil war unfolds. The film highlights the role of platforms like Facebook and Twitter in the Syrian revolution and looks at the part they play in mobilizing a young generation and spreading the news about events which often remain beyond the reach of the traditional media channels.
