After the successful premiere screening at Le Monnot Theater, we are now on our summer tour for the screening of the docudrama film "Karkha: A Village from Lebanon," which won the ‘Best Arabic Film’ at the World Film Festival in Cannes in August 2023, starting at Al Madina Theater, Hamra.

Overview:

"Karkha: A Village from Lebanon" is a compelling 45-minute docu-drama in Arabic with English subtitles. It is the first episode of the docuseries "Homes & Heroes," created by Public Matters Lebanon, directed by Nassif Al Rayess.

In a dramatic treatment, the movie tackles the social issue that has been an inevitable reality in Lebanon since the 18th century up until today: immigration. 

The movie takes place in a small village in Southern Lebanon called Karkha while unveiling a rich history of the region since the 1700s and building with the audience an emotional journey that depicts how immigrants make a big difference when they share a piece of their success with their homeland. The significant notion is that all those who appear as actors in the movie are actually the locals from the village whose naturalism and love for their land have spiced up the realism in the documentary.
