Film screening: “The Soil and the Sea” (on the civil war in Lebanon) with director DANIELE RUGO and producer ABOU JAOUDE

This event is organized by the Centre for Historical Studies.

In Lebanon there are more than 100 untouched mass graves dating back from the Civil War, and thousands of families awaiting a missing relative or at least a bone to bury. The Soil and the Sea unveils the violence lying beneath a garden, a school, a cafe, a hotel, and other unremarkable landscapes. As the camera interrogates these everyday spaces, voices fill them with erased stories.

The film screening will consist of the documentary followed by a discussion with the director, Daniele Rugo, and the producer, Carmen Abou Jaoude.

Moderators: Lucia Admiraal and Karim El Taki (RUG, MES)
