A portrait of modern-day Lebanon as seen through the eyes of four families living in the impoverished Sabra and Shatila neighborhoods of the city, the scene of an infamous massacre in 1982.

We are honoured to be in a position to bring you this critically acclaimed documentary which penetrates deep below the surface of Beirut, a still beautiful, yet deeply troubled city on the brink of financial collapse.  The film weaves together the stories of four characters living in the neighbourhoods of Sabra and Shatila struggling to survive with dignity and decency amidst unimaginable hardship. This wonderful intimate character-driven study is brought to us by Ballyshannon man Garry Keane who is one of the best documentary makers in the business  The film is Ireland’s entry in the International/Foreign Film category in the Academy Awards 2024. A Q and A will follow the screening of the film.

A must see event.
