Syrian refugees voice.


As part of the unicef television, the YouTube unicef channel decided to record a short documentary film about the Syrian refugees speaking up about their problems, struggles, life, fun and hopes. During the short film about five children speak, many of them has just arrived to Lebanon from Syria, crossing the border either in the bus or walking. One of the girls says that they had to stay in the bus for 3 days before they were able to enter Lebanon. "Because there was snow," she says as she smiles. 

One of the children dreams about building some muscles up as he grows up. He wants to beat up everyone who tries to hurt him, he says. 

Another child seems to be very upset about what happened at his friend’s house when he was in Syria still. He fears dark and he imagines what he called "bad things". 

In one scene they gather around to eat as it seems to be very cold. They eat, then play, then they gather again as it gets dark; they go "home" waiting for another day to come.
