Description: The Assad family's oppressive half-century rule ended one year ago this week, as Bashar al-Assad fled for Russia amid an insurgent takeover after he spent more than 12 years slaughtering his own people. His flight was a moment of joy and reckoning for millions of Syrians who opposed him. Syrian filmmaker Waad Al-Kateab, an Oscar-nominated documentarian, brings a very personal look at going home.
