Film of the week: What if Britain were Syria by Save the Children

07 Mar 2014 Voices

With the Syrian conflict in Syria approaching its third anniversary, Save the Children’s latest film points out that  “just because it isn’t happening here, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening”.

With the Syrian conflict in Syria approaching its third anniversary, Save the Children’s latest film points out that “just because it isn’t happening here, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening”.

Showing life through the eyes of young girl and imagining what things would be like for her if civil war broke out in London, the film has gone viral since being released earlier this week, and had more than 10 million views on YouTube.

So far more than 10,000 children have been killed by the conflict and 2.3 million refugees created and Save the Children is urging people to donate to its appeal and is calling on people to donate their Facebook or Twitter profile to be used in vigils around the world on 14 March to mark the anniversary of the conflict.
