Syrian refugees: marketed for TV

An NGO comrade wrote me this about new TV series on Syrian refugees:  "I watched some episodes. They are a series of 5-minute short clips and as I expected the focus is on how hard it is to manage the camp, read how hard the life of Kilian is, rather than on the hardships of the refugees. The refugees are depicted as savages and uncivilized and the white man is trying hard but in vain to teach them some civilization. UNHCR tweeted one of the episodes on kids in Zaatari with this comment: "where on earth have you seen children steeling a police station". I have now heard this story a hundred times from Kilian already and he keeps repeating it right and left. Who are they talking to? See the camp is not badly managed but those living in the camp are not "normal", even kids. Then you see the sympathy of the white man crying for the stories they hear, again the focus is on the UNHCR staff and how emotional and kind hearted they are. It doesn't address the real issues and the real problems, yes there is a lot of frustration and anger, there is also a small group of mafias and mafia leaders and FSA fighters among the refugees taking advantage of the situation extorting aid workers and exploiting other refugees, and there is a lot of corruption from the side of the Jordanian police in charge and bad management, staff spend most days in the camp receiving VIPs and donor visits, from John Kerry to the crown princess of Denmark, even prince Charles and Camilla visited one of the camps in jordan, like it is some sort of site seeing or a circus. These new UNHCR series promote exactly that but does not tell you that there are people there, especially kids suffering as a result. Here watch this one:
