Shu'our Akbar Min el Hob plot
A car with a loudspeaker on the roof drives through southern Lebanon. The old man at the wheel is calling on people to join a demonstration and support their brothers and sisters who have occupied a tobacco company and are now being stormed by the military. His words are from the past. He refers to events from 1973, which few remember today. Neither the protests by the tobacco farmers of the south against the monopoly of the large landowners nor the strike for better working conditions by workers at a chocolate factory in Beirut are anchored in the collective memory of the country. All memories of this social movement were erased by the civil war and society has been marked by deep sectarian divisions ever since.
