Description

13 years after the Syrian Civil War began, and with Assad now removed from power, people in the country are finally able to ask questions about the atrocities that took place in that time and what became of their loved ones. We speak to two women, cousins, who are searching for a male relative who disappeared into the Assad regime's prison complex. We also ask about the risk of an ISIS resurgence amid the uncertainty of Syria's political transition.

"Completely unjust and an insult to the intelligence of the American people", the words shouted out by the man charged with murdering the CEO of UnitedHealthcare as he was escorted into court.

And have we misunderstood Munch? The Norwegian painter known for works like The Scream had a more sociable side, which we explore with one of his biographers, whose godmother became one of his subjects.
