Australian Premiere

An American flag flies at the head of five identical jeeps heading straight for the city of Beirut. A man sits on the rear brandishing a heavy machine gun. Khaled’s camera captures this moment, and many moments after that, and thus the stories of fear, violence, repression and corruption begin. A feature action-drama set at the height of the Syrian presence in Lebanon and an insight into Beirut’s underbelly.
