Film Screening and Panel Discussion: Syria’s Disappeared

Syria’s Disappeared tells the hidden story of tens of thousands of men, women and children disappeared by the regime of President Bashar al Assad into a network of clandestine detention centers. The film follows survivors of detention, families of detainees, regime defectors and international war crimes investigators as they fight to bring the perpetrators to justice and desperately campaign for the release of the disappeared.

The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Sara Afshar, Director and Co-Producer of ‘Syria’s Disappeared,’ a former Syrian detainee and US Ambassador Stephen Rapp. This event is hosted by the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs at Fordham University.

November 9 from 5 to 7 PM at Fordham University Law School
150 W 62nd Street, New York City
Room 3-01
