Road to Palmyra
The Road To Palmyra follows historian Dan Cruickshank and photographer Don McCullin into the heart of war torn Syria, on a dangerous mission to document the cultural destruction wrought by so called Islamic State, and understand what it means to the people of the nation.
Their final destination is the ancient city of Palmyra to find out what remains of the ruins after they fled. For Dan and Don these stones represent the very soul of Syria, and for Syrians and the world the debate about what to do with them is about to begin. For both men, it is a return journey to a place with which they have long been obsessed. But to get there, they have to travel through a country that is in still in the grip of war.
On their journey to Palmyra, Dan and Don visit the grandest of Damascus’s monuments, the Great Umayyad Mosque, the recently re-opened National Museum and speak to the sons of Khaled Al Assad, the Syrian archaeologist and the head of antiquities for the ancient city of Palmyra murdered by so called Islamic State.
