A Stranger Came to Town: Accounts of the War in Syria

Four men. Four stories. Four alternative views of the battle for Aleppo.

When the stories of the war in Syria are told will they be reduced to simple tales of good and evil? What will they include and what will they leave out? And will each be able to be summarised, like the old saying suggests, as A Stranger Came to Town?

There are four characters in this film, each from the Syrian city of Aleppo. Four men who once lived a stone's throw away from one another, but who took four different paths as revolution, violence and chaos engulfed their city. Four men who now fear that their homeland may be lost to them forever.
