WE WERE COMMUNISTS

un film de Maher Abi Samra - Société

We were communists is an exploration into the fragmentation of public space in Lebanon between
confessional communities, and the integration of individuals within this fragmented space. It is articulated around three characters, including the author, all previous members of the Lebanese Communist Party; their politically engaged years during the Lebanese civil war, the paths each took in the post-war society, as well as their status today as the country knocks the doors of another war.
