We want to know
Description
"We Want to Know", Badna Naaref, is the narration of the journeys of Lebanese high school students during the war in Lebanon (1975-1990), seen through the eyes of their parents, grandparents, relatives, and neighbors. "We Want to Know" uncovers what daily life was like during periods of war, bombing, curfews, and kidnappings, and living under the constant threat of death and loss. The documentary traces the stories of four middle-aged characters (Iman, Widad, Nadim, and Mona) who lived, lost, and struggled through it. A war that ended abruptly without addressing its causes or consequences. An entire generation, now in their 40s and 50s had never spoken of the war to their children before. Most uncover and share their recollections of those days for the first time.
