Alsaleh
Documentary tells harrowing story of Syrian teens accused of migrant smuggling
Seventeen-year-old Alsaleh is on the phone with his mom, asking for news from home. It's not good: Kobani is being turned to rubble, the situation is out of control. Her pain, though, stems from something entirely different. "How long will you be in for, son?" she asks again. "Don't worry about me. The trial will start any day now. Let's have faith," he answers.
