DESCRIPTION:A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition Film Series – Lebanon and the Palestinian 
 diaspora\n\nWith a report and discussion by Zeina Zaatari—activist with 
 the National Council of Arab American, who traveled to Lebanon during the 
 2006 war.\n\n“A Summer Not to Forget”\na documentary on the 2006 
 U.S./Israeli war against Lebanon\n\nOn July 12, 2006, Hezbollah captured 2 
 Israeli soldiers. For the following 34 days, Lebanon witnessed continuous 
 Israeli bombardment. This documentary takes you beyond the headlines into 
 the harsh realities of war. It explores the devastation of a nation and a 
 people caught under siege. \n\nThrough powerful and often disturbing 
 images, this film tells the story of yet another war on Lebanon: 1,200 
 civilians killed and 4,000 injured, more than one million people displaced, 
 78 bridges destroyed, 15,000 homes damaged, the environmental disaster of 
 15,000 tons of oil spilled on 80 km of Mediterranean coast, and many more 
 catastrophes. In footage not shown by the western media, the film also 
 exposes the devastation of 57 collective massacres in an attempt to capture 
 the horror of its victims and their families. Directed by Carol Mansour, 
 27min.\n\n“Children of Shatila”\na story of the Palestinian 
 diaspora\n\nMany people first became aware of the Shatila refugee camp in 
 Lebanon after the shocking and horrific Sabra-Shatila massacre that took 
 place there in 1982. Located in Beirut's "belt of misery," the camp is home 
 to 15,000 Palestinians and Lebanese who share a common experience of 
 displacement, unemployment and poverty. Fifty years after the exile of 
 their grandparents from Palestine, the children of Shatila attempt to come 
 to terms with the reality of being refugees in a camp that has survived 
 massacre, siege and starvation.\n\nDirector Mai Masri focuses on two 
 Palestinian children in the camp: Farah, age 11 and Issa, age 12. When 
 these children are given video cameras, the story of the camp evolves from 
 their personal narratives as they articulate the feelings and hopes of 
 their generation. 50min., 1998, Arabic with English subtitles.\n\n
