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.
