A visually striking meditation on loss and a perceptive political critique, this deeply personal work has two subjects: filmmaker Olga Nakkas' ailing mother and the chaotic country where Nakkas was raised. Both fell sick in 1975, the onset of incurable depression for one and a bloody civil war ushering in deep divisions for the other. In this sequel to LEBANON: BITS AND PIECES (1994), Nakkas ponders the plight of the country she clearly loves while honoring the mother dear to her.

Mother, Lebanon & Me

Explores the realities of present day Lebanon as reflected through the voices of women. After a seven year absence, Nakkas returned to Lebanon to record the dreams, disappointments of her generation of women and meet a younger generation of women whose only memory is of Lebanon at war.
