Beirut after 40

The times in the movie "Beirut After Forty" overlap, to become identifiable through a film depicted within a film. The crew of a documentary film entitled "The Thread of Appeal" became part of another real movie they experienced with all its shocking details.

In Beirut, specifically on August 4, 2020, the director of the two films, Anthony Mershak and his team, were following the work of filming his first film "The Thread of Appeal", which talks about the concerns of the Lebanese youth and records many views of young people whose dreams and destinies oscillate between traveling and staying in Lebanon despite the difficult circumstances. In which they are faced.

While they are in the midst of working on completing a stage of their documentary film, the powerful explosion of Beirut Port takes place, which shook the Lebanese capital and left many casualties and injuries on that hot summer day.

These three minutes changed the whole concept of the film.
