When Syrian protesters tore down pictures of their dictator, Bashar al-Assad, toppled statues, demanded government reform and braved a military crackdown in 2011, Feras Fayyad was twenty-six years old. He picked up a camera and filmed it all. As his country devolved into warring factions, Fayyad bore witness, documenting the horror, and went on to make two Academy Award nominated films. More than ten years after that first protest, 600,000 people have been killed, more than 6 million Syrians are now refugees, and Assad's forces have retaken much of the country. This war may have fallen off the front page, but it's not over, and it's not just some humanitarian crisis on the far side of the world. On this week's episode of the podcast we revisit a program about Syria's war. We explore what was accomplished after 10 years of bloodshed and what could happen if justice is not served for Syria's people. Guests: Feras Fayyad, documentary filmmaker, Last Men in Aleppo and The Cave; Tima Kurdi, author of The Boy on the Beach: My Family's Escape from Syria and Our Hope for a New Home; Joby Warrick, national security reporter for The Washington Post and author of Red Line: The Unraveling of Syria and America's Race to Destroy the Most Danger Arsenal in the World Hosts: Teresa Cotsirilos, senior producer, WorldAffairs; Ray Suarez, co-host, WorldAffairs If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

In early September in 2015, a photo of a young boy lying lifeless on a beach in the Mediterranean captured the world’s attention. The picture showed two-year-old Alan Kurdi lying face down in the sand. Kurdi and his family were attempting to cross the Mediterranean by boat after fleeing war-torn Syria, but on the journey Alan, his brother Ghalib and mother Rehana perished; Abdullah Kurdi, the family’s father and husband, was the only one to survive. Tima Kurdi, Abdullah’s sister and Alan’s aunt, spoke about the night the family boarded the boat in Bodrum, Turkey. Tima said she went to grab her phone and noticed she had dozens of missed calls; she called her sister-in-law who was living in Turkey. The journey the Kurdi family took was one thousands of Syrians attempted at the height of the civil war. On this episode of the Global News podcast Whatever Happened To…?, journalist Erica Vella revisits the story of Alan Kurdi and the Syrian refugee crisis and speaks with Tima about the Kurdi family’s devastating journey and finds out how the photo of Alan mobilized Canada to take action and help thousands of Syrians fleeing persecution.

A photo of three-year-old Alan Kurdi's lifeless body washed up on a Turkish beach in 2015 became a tragic symbol of the European refugee crisis and a rallying cry to help families fleeing Syria. Kurdi's mother and brother were on a mission to get to Canada with money sent by Alan's aunt, Tima Kurdi, when the boat smuggling them out of Turkey capsized. Since her nephew's death became a photo seen around the world, Tima has become a vocal Syrian-Canadian human rights activist, and recently wrote a book entitled The Boy On the Beach which recounted her family's escape from Syria. Tima is speaking with CKNW today about a disturbing photograph taken earlier this week - it's being shared widely today after it was published in a Mexican newspaper. It depicts a man and his 23-month-old daughter dead in shallow water along the bank of the Rio Grande. The photo highlights the deadly risks faced by Central American refugees crossing into the United States. For Tima, the image takes her back to a very painful time for her family
