Resistance against Bashar al-Assad's regime unites the stories of the two central figures in this film: Razan, a college student who coordinates the delivery of material assistance from Turkey to Syria, and Mouaz, who lobbies politicians in the US and UK to support the Syrian opposition. President Obama threatens to attack if Assad crosses imaginary red lines and uses chemical weapons. But the red lines turn out to be political hot air. The world is turning its back on Syria and Syrians must look out for themselves. The film follows the tireless and dangerous work of young people who want only one thing: for the war to end and for Syria to become a democratic state. Who can be trusted and helped and who cannot?
