"A voice is missing from the international debate on the Syrian War. Throughout the conflict, world leaders have focused discussions on chemical weapons and radical fundamentalists while the Syrian people, civilians and refugees remain effectively absent from the conversation. Yet, as the war continues without foreseeable end, the simple truth is Syrians are dying and whether through bombs or sarin gas, the largest portion of the casualties are civilian." SEVEN SYRIANS by Diego Cupolo takes us into the lives of those fortunate enough to have survived the conflict ravaging their homeland. Forced to flee their homes and loved ones, these men and women, no different than ourselves, seek the same security and opportunities for their children that we all do the world over. In a series of humanizing portraits, Diego Cupolo paints the devastation of war for the reader.
