This documentary by Hanin Haidar Ahmad follows the Beirut River’s transformation from a lively communal waterway into an open sewer, tracing how decades of mismanagement, canalisation, and pollution reshaped its identity. 
Through the memories of Zoro, the voices of residents, and insights from experts and activists, it reveals the human and environmental cost of this decay and asks whether the river can ever return to public life.

This documentary was produced as part of the second edition of the AMWAJ Media Fellowship in 2025/2026.
