Overview

It's All in Lebanon is a daring Lebanese documentary in which filmmaker Wissam Charaf traces the modern history and shifting identity of Lebanon through an unconventional lens: political campaign imagery, public relations visuals, and popular music videos. Rather than following a traditional historical narrative, Charaf assembles decades of visual culture to reveal how Lebanon has constructed, marketed, and reinvented itself — and how those constructed images reflect the fractures and contradictions at the country's core. The film is a sharp, inventive piece of cinematic archaeology, uncovering what propaganda, pop culture, and political spectacle tell us about a nation's self-image. A thought-provoking meditation on memory, identity, and the stories a society tells itself.
