This is SAD. It's about fictional characters, but not a fictional place or a fictional situation. It's a look at what horrors Syrian civilians face. So, you know, forewarned and all, but also, good lord. It's really good. Really really good.
Graphic: Violence, War, Injury/Injury detail, Body horror, Death, and Child death
Moderate: Sexual assault and Torture
