The Fall of Lebanon

Lebanon is facing one of the most devastating economic and social crises in its modern history. This powerful documentary explores the collapse of the Lebanese economy, soaring inflation, currency devaluation, banking restrictions, poverty, unemployment and the dramatic decline in living standards.

From the streets of Tripoli and Beirut to communities struggling with food shortages, electricity cuts and unaffordable healthcare, ordinary Lebanese people describe how the crisis has transformed their daily lives. The documentary also investigates Lebanon's banking collapse, allegations of corruption, the freezing of people's savings, the Beirut port explosion and the growing divide between those earning in US dollars and those paid in Lebanese pounds.

As sectarian tensions return and public services collapse, many Lebanese are considering leaving the country in search of a better future. Through personal stories, this documentary offers an intimate look at a country struggling with economic collapse, political corruption, social inequality and the loss of hope.
