This is the first part of the short film series "The Syrian Who Wanted the Revolution".

The films showcased this week by The New Arab contain the testimony of a non-partisan young Aleppine man who, during the early days of the revolution, joined fellow Syrians in asking for their dignity - only to be detained by the Syrian regime, and thrown into the hell known as Sednaya prison.

The videos were produced and directed by the Syrian cinema collective Abounaddara, which has been posting short videos every Friday since April 2011, as part of the fight for freedom and dignity of all Syrians.
