A Failed Revolution

Six years after protests began in Syria, Lina Sinjab asks some of the activists who remain free what went wrong, if they have regrets and how the country can rebuild itself.

Middle East Correspondent Lina Sinjab – who grew up in Damascus – explores how the initially peaceful protests in Syria six years ago have left a country without hope and a society that is deeply fragmented. Many of the people who ignited the uprising are either dead, in prison or outside of Syria. Lina hears from some of the activists who remain free and asks them what went wrong, whether they have regrets and how their country can rebuild itself.
