'Not Who We Are' highlights the story of Syrian refugees who became displaced due to the brutal war in Syria. In early 2013, Syrians became the fourth largest refugee population in the world. Close to one million of those have taken refuge in Lebanon. More than eighty percent are women and children. War and displacement acutely affect women in particular. They lose their homes, loved ones and possessions and often find themselves in unfriendly environments. Bereft of social support networks, they are vulnerable to discrimination, violence, and abuse. 'Not Who We Are' portrays the lives of five women refugees, from different socio-educational backgrounds. In Lebanon they struggle against life’s daily brutality and try to rebuild lives shattered by war. They provide us with a glimpse into their daily hardships as well as their strength, resilience and survival instinct.

'We Want to Know', Badna Naaref, is the narration of the journeys of Lebanese high school students during the war in Lebanon (1975-1990), seen through the eyes of their parents, grandparents, relatives, and neighbors. "We Want to Know" uncovers what daily life was like during periods of war, bombing, curfews, and kidnappings, and living under the constant threat of death and loss. The documentary traces the stories of four middle-aged characters (Iman, Widad, Nadim, and Mona) who lived, lost, and struggled through it. A war that ended abruptly without addressing its causes or consequences. An entire generation, now in their 40s and 50s, had never spoken of the war to their children before. Most uncover and share their recollections of those days for the first time.
