One on One: PBS Frontline Documentarist Olly Lambert
As part of our ongoing effort to talk to journalists covering the Syria crisis, we reached out to Olly Lambert, the filmmaker behind PBS Frontline’s new documentary “Behind the Lines.” The London-based Lambert spent five weeks in Syria creating both that film and a shorter piece, the 36-minute Frontline episode “The Bombing of al-Bara,” a gripping real-time account of a regime attack on a rural village. Lambert’s full-length documentary, re-titled ‘Syria: Across the Lines,’ will air on the UK’s Channel 4 on April 17 at 10 p.m.
