Synopsis

The director roams the streets of Beirut during the 2019 revolution, catching protestors off guard with a simple yet loaded question: “Lebanon in one word?” The outdated home video camera disarms them, making their answers raw and unfiltered—love, anger, exhaustion, defiance just a few emotions expressed by multiple generations who one truth “Lebanon is life and we are its pulse”.

The series continues with “What’s your dream?” and ends outside Baabda Presidential Palace, where voices rise against Michel Aoun.

A time capsule of a nation in flux, told through spontaneous, unguarded moments.
