A Feeling Greater Than Love
Overview
A car with a loudspeaker on its roof is driving through southern Lebanon. The old man at the wheel is calling for people to join a demonstration to support their brothers and sisters whoโve occupied a tobacco company and are now being besieged by the army. His words come from the past, as heโs referring to events from 1973 โ events that few remember today. Neither the protests made by the tobacco farmers from the south against the large landholdersโ monopoly nor the strike for better working conditions by workers at a Beirut chocolate factory are anchored in the countryโs collective memory. All recollection of this social movement was erased by the civil war and society has since been marked by deep sectarian divisions.
