In 2009, I sold my land in my village in South Lebanon to a Muslim, stirring a sectarian discourse around myself and laying bare the territorial war over the land's identity, where today's stories of demographic fear between Shiite and Sunni Muslims and Christians, are mixed with stories from the civil war, when people were killed according to their identity. In this film, I combine elements of my individual memory and my country's history. And, in parallel with the geographical journey, I transform my apartment into an exhibition space with photos and maps on my walls, a video projection, an audio installation and readings from history books.

"أودى بي بيع أرضي في "ريتي المسيحية
لمسلم في رحلة عبر المخاوف الإقليمية والديموغرافية
بين الطوائف في لبنان اليوم. منذ انتهاء الحرب عام ١٩٩٠ ، استكملت
معاملات الأراضي ما لم تحققه
الحرب: تفكيك البلاد إلى مناطق طائفية. بواسطة تشابك ذاكرتي
مع شخصيات الفيلم وذاكرة البلاد، يكشف هذا الوثائقي عن الحاضر
المظلم حيث يعكس المشهد المشحون مخاوف المجتمعات
والكراهية والتعصب
