In Aleppo, the fight to survive can begin even before birth
Clip: 8/18/2016 | 6m 41s
In ravaged Aleppo, the fight for survival can begin even before birth.
In Aleppo, Syria's largest city and a stronghold of the Islamic State, warfare usually means an end to life, not its beginning. Recently, a woman nearing labor and walking to the hospital was seriously injured in a bombing. But after an emergency cesarean section and a long struggle to help the infant breathe, a cry was heard. Filmmaker Waad Al-Kateab documents this dual fight for life.
