Paul Conroy: 'They were being slaughtered, I wanted to tell their story'

On 13 February 2012, British photographer Paul Conroy and US war correspondent Marie Colvin entered Syria to document the plight of the civilians trapped in the city of Homs. Only one of them made it out.

Following Colvin's death in one of the airstrikes, this film documents Conroy's desperate battle to escape Homs and to tell the story of those still trapped in the besieged city.
