Surviving Syria: A Child's Life in Aleppo | Foreign Correspondent (2013)
What makes an 11-year-old boy start wetting the bed? Try missile attacks on your town, for starters. Ibrahim lives with his family in Aleppo, Syria, where his father has left his job as a laundryman to fight for the rebels who are trying to topple the government of President Bashar Al Assad and his mother struggles to keep her six children safe amid the chaos and psychological trauma.
They invited ABC Middle East Correspondent Matt Brown and cameraman Mathew Marsic to spend a week living with them, amid the bombs, death and destruction, for this revealing portrait of a family at war.
This Foreign Correspondent documentary was originally broadcast as “Ibrahim’s War” on 19 March 2013.
