War Generation - Beirut

In Beirut, children grow up on the barricades and soon trade their toy pistols for real machine guns.

War Generation - Beirut explores the lives, dreams and fears of three generations of young people living in the heart of the civil war in Lebanon. This seminal work from Jean Chamoun and Mai Masri remains one of the most powerful anti-war documents of the period.

Directed by Mai Masri
