Why?, is a 1982 Lebanese movie, directed by Monica Maurer. with a runtime of 28 minutes.
Why? is a documentary filmed in Beirut during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, offering a raw and urgent portrait of a city under siege. Rhythmed by the wail of sirens, the film captures both the brutality of the bombardment and the determination of ordinary people to survive. Made as an act of witness, it seeks to convey the human cost of the violence to international audiences, rallying support for the Palestinian cause at a critical historical juncture. Yet beyond its immediate political purpose, Why? carries a haunting quality: the spectre of an uncertain future looms over every frame, and the seeds of the Sabra and Shatila massacre — still to come when the camera was rolling — cast a dark shadow over the film's unresolved grief.
