Vice Turns Back the Pages on Syrian Resistance

The conflict in Syria is reaching the one year mark, and a newly reformed Syrian coalition has just been officially recognized by Britain as the unifying voice of the opposition. Vice Magazine, a publication known for its willingness to cover sensitive subjects, recently devoted an entire issue to exploring Syria’s complex resistance. Joining us in this interview to talk about the country’s ongoing civil war, and the Free Syrian Army, is Vice’s Senior Editor Aaron Lake Smith.  Also joining us is independent journalist and producer Anna Therese Day, who wrote about gunrunning with the Free Syrian Army.

Virginia Prescott is the Gracie Award-winning host of Word of Mouth, Civics 101, The 10-Minute Writers Workshop podcasts, and the Writers on A New England Stage series on New Hampshire Public Radio. Prior to joining NHPR, she was editor, producer, and director for NPR programs On Point and Here & Now, and directed interactive media for New York Public Radio.
