“"The Liberties was, and still is, a great place to grow up. Its streets were full of life, both commercial and domestic. The people were talkative and witty. Yet many of its children suffered through heroin, and today the area is no longer a market and trading hub but one defined by digital and technology culture."”
From: The Liberties

“Through these four shorts, we encounter phone-camera footage of the empty space where a home once stood; women chatting surrounded by branches of lemon blossom interrupted by jets overhead; monsters and superheroes bringing moments of light relief in a city marked by war; and voices from the south of Lebanon, filmed in 1993, that continue to ring true today.”
