Like a travel log created by Russia Today for the Russia Mother. Well something like that.
What would be interesting would be the same movie written, produced and directed by Fox or CNN or even CBS.
Spoiler alert Freddy Krueger will be your narrator.

Teaser from Fox Mews movie..........

Now if we can get Russia Today to write, produce and direct a movie about ISIS well heck, I'll spring for the popcorn.
Imagen that, a travel commercial for Syria.

Why do I get the impression that somebody is fibbing about something here?

I thought it was well made and appropriate.

If you believe some of the information is not correct, just tell us about it.

If you are looking for other RT produced documentaries, you can find them easily, on many topics including those that may be of more concern for you.

As to Syria: thanks to pointers I found at Catherina's Twitter channel, I recently discovered a fascinating young woman posting comments about Syria. You can find her on Youtube as "SyrianGirlpartisan". Amazingly eloquent in English, quick-witted and extraordinarily bright. Here she is in a discussion on Australian TV. Just watch this and tell me what you think:

Such stunning analysis. You should join a debating group.

7. thanks, but I won't be preached at by the mouthpiece of a dictatorship that is forcibly occupying

the very place it is preaching at us about.

You might want to consider speaking truth to ALL power, including dictatorships in Russia elsewhere

nothing preachy whatsoever in this travelogue. Some interesting history, though, for those who want to know.

5. This show sounds and looks pretty contrived

And not very engaging (mostly just talking points and little critical thinking).

Unfortunate. There really is a lot to be told here, and the Western MSM is very skewed. But this does not cut it.

Clumsy and nearly "propaganish".

12. The Russian camera crew was probably a big intimidation to the locals "asked" for their opinion
