Description

Hussein worked for his family's real estate company before the Syrian revolution began 8 months ago. Frequent bombings and gunfire between President Bashar al-Assad forces and Syrian rebels turned the country into one of the most dangerous place in the world. Most jobs in Syria, including Hussein's in Quasir, disappeared. Hussein, a pro-revolution activist who asked not to use his last name for fear of retribution, began taking pictures and videos of the violence and sending them to TV stations, free of charge. Blockades and attacks on foreign journalists in Syria has made real-time information about the conflict more and more scarce. Broadcaster are increasingly relying on untrained citizen journalists like Hussein for insight into what's going on in the country. In this eye-opening Storyhunter video, Hussein tells his story.
