"Not Anymore: A Story of Revolution" (new Syrian documentary)

If you only watch one video today, make it this. Released today, directed by a Marylander, Matthew Van Dyke, who fought for the Libyan Revs and was a prisoner for months, now helping the Syrian Revs with his films.

Nour, 24, English teacher turned photo-journalist: "I used to wear fancy dresses and high heels, but not anymore... I have to do this for my country, I have to give what I can give. It's pretty important to let the world see what's going on.... Why should I die cheap?"




The director's twitter page for further info and links. He's asking that the film be reposted as much as possible, without charge except giving credit as the filmmaker.

I don't consider that a legitimate head of state. Same for killing thousands of citizens, regardless of method.
