Millions of YouTube viewers have been captivated by the 'Syrian hero boy' who manages to rescue a little girl while under gunfire. Now a group of Norwegian filmmakers have told BBC Trending they are behind it. They say it was filmed on location in Malta this summer with the intention of being presented as real.
Lars Klevberg, a 34-year-old film director based in Oslo, wrote a script after watching news coverage of the conflict in Syria. He says he deliberately presented the film as reality in order to generate a discussion about children in conflict zones.

Yeah I had a feeling.
It was fake or it was the world’s worst sniper.
"I wish I had thought of that!"
Im surprised the didnt hire the iraqi Bomb Magnet women as an extra
I want to generate a discussion about hobbits trapped in Modor. There's this real documentary film that you can download from Netflix....
“He says he deliberately presented the film as reality in order to generate a discussion about children in conflict zones.”
It’s not very nice and it scares children and it is sad when they die. End of discussion.
I wonder whether he really means by “generate a discussion” is blames the West (in particular the USA and Israel) for everything!
Called it!
The dead giveaway was the amount of dust coming off the little boy and his running to the little girl, seemingly uninjured, then running with her, without any signs of impairment after being shot, around the chest area.
Didn’t think anyone could fire that many shots and miss every time.
It was a “social experiment”
Green Helmet guy as director.
Satire....it helps calm the pop. down....best way to damper a shared communal fear response.
imo
Hmmm yes..exactly as I said then!
HA! And this is why I trust NOTHING from muslims.
Suckers. So when people show a bunch of Russian tanks or Russian trucks supposedly going into Ukraine to ‘invade’ them, should I believe it?
My general rule is unless I see clear, convincing, evidence (such as a “Kiev or Bustki” bumper sticker on them), I will assume it is fake, as those pictures were now shown to be.
Lars Klevberg is another liberal elite ‘Gruber’. Lars thinks he’s the first person to discover lying is faster than telling the truth. And much easier to film.
When a teenager, Lars said stealing money out of ‘Mom’s purse’ was easier than getting a job.
That cheating on school tests takes less time than studying.
One more liberal elite jerk who thinks his personal ‘ends’ justify his means. Guess he so much ‘smarter’ than all the photo journalists out there doing honest work..
One more Gruber...
How do you say Gruber in Norwegian?
How do you say Gruber in Norwegian?... I have it on good authority it is ‘ herdy-gerty Gruberski-herdy Bork, Bork Bork!’ but I don’t know fer sure.
