Our Heedless Wars
Randa Chahal Sabbag | France | 1996 | 61 min. | documentary video

A thought-provoking film about returning home from self-imposed political exile: Now living in Paris, director Sabbag was raised in Lebanon, where she filmed the war raging in that country from 1976 on. Although Sabbag eventually fled the destruction, her family, including her sister remained behind. Her return to Lebanon is a journey of re-discovery; an attempt to understand her own identity as well as the twisted identity of Lebanon itself.

WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY: Randa Chahal Sabbag
CINEMATOGRAPHY: Frédéric Labourasse, Roby Breidy
