I've been following the movie's updates on facebook from about 2 months and I've been thinking what kind of story will it be... is it a pure documentary, a fiction, a fake trial of putting on the big screen a historical period of Lebanon? November 17 came, I went to see the film... I couldn't handle myself crying watching this successful reconstruction of the Manifestations, seeing finally the reality of behind the scenes of this battle for freedom.
I was born during the Lebanese bloody civil war of 1975, and have never seen any document, any movie, any book talking clearly and smoothly about a certain period in Lebanon, this period where the youth had a say and was battling for its freedom against the Syrian Occupation.
A really tough subject...
I won't go into details but it is definitely a movie to watch, finally something real, something we can see ourselves in!
