'Has anyone ever told the truth? Has anyone ever demanded it? Does anyone want it? Does anyone even need it?' In a small town in Syria, soldiers are celebrated as heroes and grieving families are nourished on propaganda. As coffins pile up, a local party leader decides on a radical compensation scheme: a goat for each son martyred.
