ABC News identified several individuals in the northern city of Aleppo, gave them cameras, and asked them to record their daily lives. Imagine growing up in a country at war, where a third of the population requires humanitarian assistance, where 20% have fled the country and a quarter of those who remain are forced to leave their homes. That's the fate of 3 million children in Syria. Through these eyewitness account, viewers will meet a range of Syrians from one individual who survives barrels of
TNT falling from the sky to children who are learning to sing war songs and teenage girls training to be snipers, among many others.
