Video Description (from Youtube)
► Find the full investigation at Mother Jones: https://www.motherjones.com/syria
In this installment of our “Behind the Lines” video series, Mother Jones senior reporter Shane Bauer travels to the former ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, where he follows forensics teams as they conduct the harrowing work of uncovering thousands of bodies from the rubble. The city was liberated in 2017 following an intensive four-month siege and bombardment by US-led forces as part of President Donald Trump’s aggressive escalation of the war against ISIS in Syria. By early 2018, when Bauer visited, as much as 80 percent of the city’s buildings had been destroyed or damaged; Amnesty International called it “the most destroyed city in modern times.” During the American-led assault, US Marines launched 30,000 artillery rounds into the city—more than any Marine battalion had fired since Vietnam. Watch Bauer as he follows the heartbreaking daily routine of 16 rescuers with no more lives to save. Life continues in the shadow of death: A soccer game takes place next to a mass grave, and children go to school next to pulverized buildings.
