Syria's Agony Set In Stone

Syrian sculptor Nizar Ali Badr has been capturing the story of refugees from his country, using pebbles from his local beach. 
His art has become the inspiration for a unique film -- the concept 
of Latvian violinist Gidon Kremer, who asked Georgian animator Sandro Kancheli to bring the stone figures to life along with his music.
