Cineculture will be showing the film “The War of 33: Letters from Beirut” at 5:15 p.m. on Friday, January 30 in McLane Hall 121 at CSUF. Dr. Manzar Forouhar, Professor at CSU SLO, will be the discussant after the film.



Below is a synopsis:

SYNOPSIS - THE WAR OF 33: An intimate, personal and powerful telling of the story of the 2006 war in Lebanon. A series of letters written by Hanady Salman - a mother living through the war in Beirut - carve a narrative arc through the intense and haunting images of conflict. She tells the stories of her family and the people she lives the war with – the refugees, the wounded, and the everyday Lebanese, struggling to maintain their sanity and their humanity during a time of war. The War of 33 is more than a document of a particular historical experience. What emerges is a universal story – a complex picture of love, pain, resistance and survival in the face of uncertainty and violence.
