On August 4, 2020, a devastating explosion at the Port of Beirut shattered not just buildings and streets, but also countless lives and dreams. Four years on, the physical and emotional scars of that catastrophic event continue to shape the lives of survivors, their families, and the entire Lebanese community.


This powerful documentary captures their voices, their pain, and their unwavering spirit. Through intimate testimonies, we witness both the horror of that fateful day and the remarkable resilience that followed. Survivors recount their experiences with raw honesty – from the immediate aftermath of blood and chaos to the ongoing struggle for healing and justice.

Yet amidst the darkness, hope persists. The documentary reveals how communities have united in the face of adversity, establishing support networks and finding creative ways to process their grief. Through community kitchens, art projects, and collective action, the people of Beirut demonstrate an extraordinary capacity for solidarity and renewal. As one participant notes, “When you feel the love, the familiarity, you feel like there is still good in the world. It’s not all gone.”
