R-existence

Marco Pasquini 2006 docu 45 min.

Five women, returning to their devastated villages in southern Lebanon
after the 2006 war, recount their experiences during the conflict. Five
"existences" are profiled from the million or more Lebanese driven from
their homes by the fighting. Layla, Haifa, Dina, Zeynab and Fatme speak
with calm and pride while sitting in what remains of their homes. They tell
of life under the bombings, about the meaning of having a house, and about
their feelings on encountering the destruction on their return. Moreover,
they describe their enduring will to resist as a daily and tenacious act of
selfaffirmation and selfpreservation.
