Homsi Comic Relief Speaks of Strong Spirits Despite All
Jun 12 2012
[Screen shot from Video]
Two youngish Syrian men in Homs discuss "Bashar's Reforms" (islahaat) while pointing to the destruction of their homes (we don't know if these are indeed their homes, but that's immaterial here) and cars.
The script itself is clean and elegant as it is acerbically satirical. (though some of the comments under the Youtube video are disturbingly/disgustingly sectarian). There really is nothing to say except that it is worth watching. I apologize for not transcribing. It won't work well in any case, as it is all in the intonation.
