We are honoured to be in a position to bring you this critically acclaimed documentary from the makers of GAZA (2019). In the Shadow of Beirut penetrates deep below the surface of 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 districts of Sabra and Shatila struggling to survive with dignity and decency amidst unimaginable hardship. Sadly, this wonderfully intimate character-driven study from the Middle East is as timely as it is timeless.

The film is brought to us by Ballyshannon man Garry Keane who is one of the best documentary makers in the business. It is co-produced by Hilary and Chelsea Clinton.
