Syrian Tango

Art and Dance reviving Syria's soul

When the war started in Syria, artists weren’t needed. Most left the country, to protect their art. Some stayed, or returned. RTD meets a daring dancer who tangoes in the street. A conscript who carved a tunnel left by rebel fighters. A jazz conductor who came home to bring his ideas to life. As peace comes back, they are battling to set spirits free.
