In Lebanon there are more than 100 untouched mass graves dating back from the Civil War, and thousands of families awaiting a missing relative or at least a bone to bury.
The Soil and the Sea unveils the violence lying beneath a garden, a school, a cafe, a hotel, and other unremarkable landscapes. As the camera interrogates these everyday spaces, voices fill them with erased stories.
The screening on Thursday the 9th of May was followed by a panel discussion between the director Daniele Rugo, Ramzi Kaiss (Middle East and North Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch), and professor Lina Khatib (Director of the Middle East Institute at SOAS University of London).
