http://www.pbs.org/wnet/wideangle/episodes/iraqi-exodus/introduction/811/ Original PBS airdate: Tuesday, August 19 at 9:00 pm (check local listings) WIDE ANGLE reports from the frontlines of the staggering refugee crisis that is unfolding in the Middle East as Iraqis flee their war-torn country at the rate of up to 50,000 people per month. Our story takes us to the heart of the crisis – to Syria and Jordan, which harbor the vast majority of uprooted Iraqis. WIDE ANGLE explores the displaced Iraqi community – from the middle class suburbs of Damascus where Iraqis have sent housing prices soaring more than 50 percent to the cafés, schools and food distribution sites of Amman.

Perched on the highest hill overlooking Palmrya and the oasis is the castle of Fakhr ud-Din ibn Ma’ani. The castle was probably built in the 13th century by the Mamelukes. Although by then the city of Palmyra had long since declined, this was a key strategic position on the trading routes and guarded a reliable water supply, making it well worth defending. The castle takes its name from a Druze emir who ‘liberated’ much of Lebanon and Syria from Ottoman rule in the first half of the 17th century.
