Human Rights Watch International Film Festival - New York

LEBANON DREAM (World Premiere)
Nurit Kedar - Israel - 2000 - 60m - video - documentary
In Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles

Director Nurit Kedar met Samir Farhat (one of the featured characters in her acclaimed documentary Borders) four years ago. Samir is a successful Lebanese merchant who wears many hats (and uniforms) and has survived in the dangerous profiteering business world between the borders of Southern Lebanon and Israel. His life and work were so compelling that after the completion of Borders Ms. Kedar and her camera continued for years to capture his business, his family and his friends. The result is LEBANON DREAM, a fascinating story of a unique businessman who lives his life within the Lebanese chaos and provides a different, human and dramatic look at what Israelis call "The Lebanese Fiasco."
