Synopsis

A month after the August 4, 2020 blast, photographer Fadia Ahmad returns to help rebuild what she can of a broken city. Walking through the streets of Beirut, she portrays the aftermath of the explosion that shook Lebanon to its core. A journey formerly of self discovery instead gives voice to the survivors and their resilience and refusal to give up.
