synopsis
A journey through memories of Beirut, filmed just before the bombs started falling. A chance to meet Lebanon and the new generation of young Lebanese, whose lives have been changed forever.
short fact
"When I visited Lebanon in June 2006, everything was perfect - the city was buzzing, there was so much energy, high expectations, a lot of hope... While in the airplane at the Beirut International Airport, heading to London, I thought to myself, this is the time to move back - Beirut is booming! Two days later, that runway at the airport no longer existed - the country was under attack and under seige ... I wanted people here to know what was being destroyed - I wanted this film to shatter the distance of that war, and I wanted to release the anger and frustration I felt, watching my family, my friends, and my Lebanon burn."

    I found this film very simple and beautiful...I don't feel it needed anything else. It is the innocence with which the film maker sees Lebanon that touches me.

    This film tries so hard to be poignant and bitter sweet - and instead ends up being boring, and clichéd.

    A to discreet expression of deep feelings of pain. And this discretion may not allow the full impact desired by and on an audience.

    A really powerful and poignant film.
