Chou sar ? (What Happened ?)
De Gaulle Eid
Documentary | France, Lebanon, Palestine | 2010 | 75 min.

On December 9, 1980, De Gaulle Eid's parents, youngest sister and eleven other members of his family perished in a carnage in Edbel, Northern Lebanon. He left Lebanon for France 18 years ago, and now lives with his own family in Corsica. But he has many unanswered questions - questions that torment almost every Lebanese family today. Protected by a general amnesty agreement in 1993 erasing all crimes perpetrated during the Lebanese civil war, neighbors who slaughtered his family still live peacefully today. He returns to his native Lebanon to face his questions.
