Bashar al-Assad: The Dictator Who Fled in 11 Days | Full Documentary

On the 8th of December 2024, Bashar al-Assad fled Damascus by plane, ending 54 years of Assad family rule in Syria — a regime that survived 13 years of civil war, chemical weapons attacks, and international isolation, only to collapse in just 11 days. This is the full story of Bashar al-Assad: a shy trainee eye doctor in London who never expected to rule anything, forced into power after his brother's sudden death, who inherited one of the Middle East's most feared police states from his father Hafez al-Assad. From the crushed hope of the Damascus Spring, to the brutal civil war that followed the 2011 uprising, the Ghouta chemical attack, Russia's intervention, and the shocking final collapse of December 2024 — this documentary covers the entire rise and fall of Syria's last dictator. ] If you enjoyed this documentary, please consider subscribing for more full-length historical documentaries covering the world's most notorious dictators and historical figures. #BasharAlAssad #Syria #Documentary #History #Dictator
