Entering it’s fifth year, the Syrian conflict has left over 200,000 deaths in its wake. The former interim prime minister of the opposition coalition, Ghassan Hitto joined us on the show today to talk about a possible resolution to the fighting. We also hosted one of the founders of the Peace on Earth Film Festival, who brought along two filmmakers sharing their passion.
