DESCRIPTION:"Under the Bombs," by director Philippe Aractingi, is a striking and often 
 very moving work of guerrilla filmmaking about the 2006 Israeli invasion of 
 Lebanon, a 33-day siege that left 1,189 men and women dead and created a 
 million refugees. It’s a drama-documentary that places two well-known 
 Lebanese actors in the middle of devastated landscapes without a script and 
 in the company of real-life relief workers, bereaved parents and media 
 officials.\n\nNada Abou Farhat plays Zeina, a confident woman who has just 
 touched down in Beirut and who is looking for a taxi driver willing to 
 brave road blocks and gunfire in order to drive her to the southern village 
 where she sent her young son during the protracted fall-out from her 
 divorce to a wealthy businessman. The only cabbie willing to do so is Tony 
 (Georges Khabbaz), a tetchy guy who, it turns out, has been separated from 
 his kids and dreams of migrating to Germany.  \n\nAs much as it dramatizes 
 the two characters’ own struggles to come to terms with the present 
 blighted situation, the film highlights with revelatory force the extent of 
 the misery wreaked on the Palestinian people by the Israeli forces. The 
 pair’s journey is constantly hampered by collapsed roads, bombed bridges, 
 wrecked petrol stations. (excerpt from undertheombs.com) 2006, 98 min.
