"Beirut": The Journey That Changed a Documentary Filmmaker’s Life

"Beirut," written by Ibrahim Akbari Dizgah and published by Saad Publishing, is a collection of stories and narratives seen through the eyes of a documentary filmmaker. Traveling from Germany to Beirut, he experiences the city across different times and in places like hotels, beaches, and streets. In this book, Beirut is not merely a geographical point or a Middle Eastern city; it is the starting point for an inner transformation of a young man in the turbulent times shaped by ISIS and Takfiri groups. He goes to Beirut to meet a man who believes that a country should be built with love, not violence.
