What's happening in Syrian is religious cleansing of Christianity by jihadists. That's not a story the MSM is comfortable telling. Un-PC.

Twitchy has helped spread the word about the “ongoing ethnic cleansing of Christians” in Syria, echoing the horrific attacks on Coptic Christians in Egypt. Filmmaker and Breitbart writer Lee Stranahan is trying to put together an independent project to bring the stories of some of these displaced Christians to Western audiences. He’s put together a brief video that gives an overview of the project, which includes a trip to the Middle East (under a travel advisory) to interview survivors firsthand.
Further, it gets into uncomfortable questions about Pred. Obama's U.S. Middle Eastern intervention in general…

There are 2 paths you can do down past the story of Syrian Christians: the plight of Christians across the region or the plight of refugees

Both of those are valid stories, too, and I plan to get into a both of them a little bit during interviews on this trip.
