Aleppo is the largest city in Syria and has served as a commercial capital for over a thousand years. Today, it is the capital of the Syrian revolution. Many of the city's pre-revolution inhabitants have fled, and their places have been filled by rebels from the Islamic Front. Militants and civilians living in the city are at constant risk of aerial bombing and ground assaults from both the Assad regime and ISIL, and have built a maze of tunnels beneath the city. The following documentary program was produced by VICE News and follows rebels fighting in the city's destroyed medieval center during the summer of 2014.
