In the aftermath of the 1967 defeat, four young Lebanese try to figure out their places in a society whose rules seem to have changed. It proved to be an extraordinary anticipation of the civil war that would engulf the country while the film was being edited.

Beirut, Oh Beirut
This movie was definitely not made for me. I appreciate the history and the stories that these characters brought to the screen. I think this was a very interesting way to produce a movie and the timing of its release only made it more fascinating.

I think that the feeling of conformity that surrounded these men's lives is still relevant today, it's merely the setting that they're placed in that makes it so imperative to their lives.
