Insight With Janine di Giovanni: Dispatches From Syria

Journalist Janine di Giovanni tells of her time covering the Syrian conflict


In May 2012, Janine di Giovanni travelled to Syria to cover the peaceful demonstrations. It would mark the beginning of a relationship with the country that would continue to draw her back, as the situation rapidly became one of the most brutal conflicts in recent history. Seeking out personal stories, in Dispatches From Syria di Giovanni tells of the rebel fighters thrown in jail at the least provocation; the children and families forced to watch loved ones taken and killed by regime forces with dubious justifications; and the elite, holding pool parties in Damascus hotels and trying to deny the human consequences of the nearby shelling. Di Giovanni will be joining The Frontline Club to share the stories of the people she has encountered in Syria, as well as her experience of covering the country’s recent history. Valid ID may be required.
