A film by Jean Chamoun. (Arabic with English subtitles. 102 minutes, 2000.)
To escape the civil war between Christians and Muslims, a Lebanese family moves from the countryside to Beirut, only to find themselves caught in an equally dangerous situation. Documentary filmmaker Jean Khalil Chamoun’s first fictional film skillfully employs archival footage to convey the struggles his adolescent protagonist and his family must confront in war-torn Beirut. As he creates a harrowing overview of the conflict that left his country in physical and moral disarray, this talented filmmaker leaves a more in-depth look at the underlying factors of the Lebanese Civil War.
