Syria faces an uncertain trajectory in the wake of the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad after a nearly 14-year war that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. The man who led the offensive to topple Assad — and now leads the fragile country — is Ahmad al-Sharaa, once known by his jihadist nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Jolani.

The geopolitical situation al-Sharaa is now shepherding Syria through is precarious. “Syria After Assad” examines how what happens in Syria under al-Sharaa’s rule could have consequential effects across the region and beyond, how al-Sharaa has wielded power so far and why the country is still deeply divided.

Although al-Sharaa has continually pledged unity and peace, members of the country’s minority groups — including the Kurds, the Druze and the Alawites — say they have been excluded and the latter fear retribution.

“The situation is very fluid; we just have to wait and see what happens,” Murhaf Jouejati, a Syrian academic and diplomat, says in the documentary. “We need to see this new administration be inclusive of all Syrians. We need to make sure that Syria will no longer be a center of terrorism.”

As “Syria After Assad” explores, the stakes are high for Syria’s people, the regional powers that have long engaged in deadly proxy battles in Syria, and the world.

James Jeffrey, a top diplomat in the region during the Bush, Obama and first Trump administrations, says, “What happens in Syria impacts all of the Middle East.”
