I'm not Lakit, is a 2022 Lebanese movie, directed by Marie Surae. with a runtime of 74 minutes.

Overview

I'm Not Lakit is a human rights-focused drama that shines a light on the invisible population known as "lakits" — individuals born without nationality, without a registered home, without known parents, and without a surname. Legally invisible, they are denied the right to study, to work, and to travel, stripped of the most basic entitlements that others take for granted. Yet the film insists on a fundamental truth: above all bureaucratic definitions, they are human beings, and as such they carry within them the possibility of a future. A quietly powerful statement about legal exclusion, statelessness, and the irreducible dignity of human life regardless of documentation.
