Rich in exceptional testimonies, this documentary is both a portrait of Bashar al-Assad and an account of the relations that the West has with him, from his arrival in power to the conflict that is ravaging Syria today. The terrorism that strikes us, the refugee crisis, the stability of the Middle East, our relations with Russia: all of this depends on him. "Me or chaos", Bashar al-Assad repeats to justify to the world the bloody takeover of his country. In order to keep power, he initiated a terrible civil war responsible for the death of 300,000 Syrians, drove 3 million of them into exile, and allowed tens of thousands of people to be tortured in his jails.
