Description
Are you Anxious in Beirut? We host Zakaria Jaber, the person that triggered the motivation behind this Podcast season. Joining Zakaria are Farah Darwish and Nazih Osta, two very prominent figures featured in the award winning documentary. In this episode, we chat about:
The last 3 years in Lebanon (the October Revolution, Pandemic, August 4th Blast)
Immigration
Corruption in Lebanon and how it feeds into our society
Navigating friendships in Beirut in the midst of chaos
The economic collapse and its impact on our generation
Anxious in Beirut (2023)
In the ever-present desire to capture, record, and understand Beirut, and by extension himself, Zakaria has been trying to give a coherent story to his city. It is through the intersectionality between the general and the personal, the public and private, the old and young, that we are able to answer: why are we anxious in Beirut?
