Filmed over the course of four years, “BEIRUT FOREVER " documents the lives of four refugees navigating the complexities of life in Lebanon, caught in circumstances beyond their control.
Through intimate interviews and candid moments, the documentary offers a lens not just on their pain but also on their dreams, aspirations, and the bonds that inspire them to keep pushing forward. With the country serving both as a sanctuary and a prison, this documentary invites audiences on the filmmaker's own transformative journey filled with empathy, compassion, and an urgent call for understanding.
My second feature, “Beirut Forever“, stands as a deeply personal exploration ofthe refugee journey, offering insights that resonate on both an emotional andintellectual level.
