We are thrilled to share with you that our finished film Lost in Lebanon will screen at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival (HRWFF) in New York City this June. We believe the HRWFF will raise important awareness of the ongoing Syrian conflict and its traumatic impact on Syrian refugees.
Lost in Lebanon follows the lives of four refugees in Lebanon, struggling for legal residence and a sense of belonging after leaving their war-torn homeland. This film is crucial in reminding us of the human aspect of the war and what goes on behind the gruesome theatre of physical violence. Over 5 million Syrians have been displaced. Syrian refugees are going through a state of legal limbo: unsure of their future and unable to build a peaceful life for themselves and their families.
The film will screen at the IFC Center, June 15th, and at Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theatre, June 17th.
Once again, we would like to give a tremendous thank you to our GlobalGiving donors.
