West Beirut

From master filmmaker ZIAD DOUERI, director of the "THE ATTACK" and "THE INSULT" comes a cross-cultural-gem that marked a whole war-torn generation. Set in the early days of the Lebanese Civil War, West Beirut follows two teenagers chasing freedom in a city slipping into chaos. What starts as a rebellious escape quickly becomes a front row seat to a country unraveling, where checkpoints replace classrooms, loyalties blur, and innocence fades, capturing a Beirut that feels strikingly familiar today, fractured, restless, and held together by dark humor and resilience, turning a coming of age story into a raw portrait of survival in the middle of collapse.
