Overview

Zanghat Arreeh is a Libyan historical social drama set in the city of Tripoli in 1945, in the immediate aftermath of World War II and the fall of Italian colonial rule. With the British military administration now in control, the Libyan people find themselves marginalized — their needs deprioritized while foreign communities benefit from institutional support. The series vividly portrays the social fabric of Tripoli in this era, capturing the lives, customs, and traditions of its diverse religious and ethnic communities who, despite the injustices surrounding them, remain bound together by shared joys, shared sorrows, and a deep sense of belonging to one city and one homeland. It is a richly human drama that rescues a pivotal and underrepresented chapter of Libyan history from obscurity.
