Nadia, a young Syrian woman in the diaspora, struggles to come to terms with what the world knows about what’s happening in her country. She speaks with Riyad - her father's friend - whom she had first met in the strangest of circumstances. Riyad tells Nadia more about his extraordinary story and what happens to those who, like him, have disappeared 'behind the sun' in Syria.

In this six-part series, we will hear from others who are still living the ongoing horrors that more than 100,000 detainees in Syria and their families continue to face.

Stay tuned for Episodes 1 and 2 on April 19.
