In 2011, Syrians rose up against Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship in a revolutionary movement that would transform the country and reverberate across the Middle East.

In Days of Love and Rage, journalist Anand Gopal explores the hopes, struggles and defeats of the Syrian revolution, bringing to life the ordinary people who dared to imagine a different future. What drove the uprising, how did grassroots movements organise, and how did the revolution become entangled in counter-revolution and imperialist intervention?

Join Anand Gopal to discuss the Syrian revolution, its lessons for movements fighting oppression today, and the enduring possibilities of popular resistance.
