“Smile, you’re in south Lebanon” is a great documentary I was lucky enough to watch last week in Souk Jara. The 1 hour and 20 something minutes documentary by a brilliant Dalia Kury filmed the life of a southern Lebanese family and how they deal with fear and hardship.

This week in Palestine: Gazans decided to go on strike in protest to violence caused by Hamas-linked groups two days ago. This is the first strike since Hamas gained power three months ago; the majority of shops, universities and even hospitals were closed on Sunday.
