The 'Syrian hero boy' video is fake

Post by 0sman »

This, ladies & gentlemen, should be a prove to you that you never ever come to conclusion on stuff you see on the internet.
A video that appeared to show a young Syrian boy running through sniper fire to rescue a young girl is a fake, it has emerged.

The boy was hailed a hero after the one-minute clip, thought to be filmed in Yabroud, a countryside town 50 miles from Damascus, was posted online earlier this week.

But a group of Norwegian filmmakers have today revealed that the footage was in fact shot on location in Malta using professional actors.

Most of the youtube vids claiming to show atrocities in Syria/Ukraine are fake.

I read the article and the reason they did it is stupid. And they should be slapped for it, because everyone is going to second guess every video out of a war zone.
