GOODBY "RELATIVE CALM" IN LEBANON. FINALLY.


                                  ("Freedom")

Dutch-Palestinian filmmaker Radi Suudi made a 50-minute documentary in 2013. Six years later "Relative Calm" it is still up-to-date. 

Lebanon is still struggling with a toxic mix of corrupt politico-militia leaders plundering the country, destroying its economy and environment, and selling its sovereighnity to Iran and other states. The civil war is still raging in neighbouring Syria, and Lebanon is still home for more then a million Syrian refugees. And the Iran-controlled Shia Hezbollah is still killing Sunni in Syria to keep the Assad regime alive  - fueling sectarianism in the region. Syria's bloody present is interwined with Lebanon's bloody past and present. 

Since October 2019 the power balance in Lebanon is finally shifting towards courageous citizens from all confessions and civil society groups, at the expense of the corrupt assassins in power. A revolution has finally started in the streets of Lebanon. There is finally hope.
