This video letter was made on July 21, 2006 at the studios of Beirut DC, a film and cinema collective, during the Israeli assault on Lebanon. It was produced in collaboration with Samidoun, a grassroots gathering of various organizations and individuals who were involved in relief and media efforts from the first day of the Israeli attack on Lebanon. It was also broadcasted at the Biennial of Arab Cinema, organized by the Arab World Institute in Paris.
I should a personal note. Some artists have explicitly or implicitly taken a "neutral" position in this war, saying that they neither support Hizbollah or Israel. Others, like those who worked on this video, while not necessarily pro-Hizbollah politically, have taken a clear position to be with the resistance against Israeli assaults and occupation.
