The Soil and The Sea
Daniele Rugo, 73 minutes, Documentary, in Arabic with English subtitles, 2023,
Lebanon & UK.
In Lebanon, there are more than 100 untouched mass graves dating back to the
Civil War, and thousands of families awaiting a missing relative or at least
remains that could be properly buried.
The Soil and the Sea unveils the violence lying beneath a garden, a school, a
cafe, a hotel, and other unremarkable landscapes. As the camera interrogates
these everyday spaces, voices fill them with erased stories.
The film was screened at several festivals such as the Ecrans du Reel in
France, the Tripoli Film Festival in Lebanon, and the Central Scotland
Documentary Festival, all in 2023.
