Syria's Lost Generation

News & Politics Podcasts

A decade of war in Syria has devastated the country and spawned one of the worst refugee crises in the world. Millions of Syrians fled for neighboring Lebanon and Jordan over the years, where they live to this day in makeshift camps. Millions more are displaced inside Syria. On March 9th, Foreign Policy, in partnership with World Vision International and the Syrian American Medical Society, brings you Syria’s Lost Generation, a six-part podcast about young Syrians who expected to live normal lives—going to school and making friends. Instead, they and their families were uprooted by war and traumatized by displacement. The series is reported from the region by journalist David Enders, who covered the Syrian war, and hosted by award-winning actor Liam Cunningham, who has worked with NGOs, including World Vision, to raise awareness for the plight of refugees.Subscribe to Syria's Lost Generation wherever you get your podcasts.
