Under the Bombs

During the one-month war in 2006 large parts of Lebanon were struck by Israeli bombing raids, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were forced to flee. Under the Bombs tells the story of a woman who travels through the war-torn country in search of her son and sister. The film was shot in Lebanon while the conflict still raged, and only the main protagonists are actors. The characters we meet on the way are real people fleeing the bombs, thus providing us with a realistic insight into the conflict in a film that pushes the boundaries between drama and documentary. ka
