Taste of Cement by Ziad Kalthoum VO Arabic with English subtitles
In this poetic essay documentary, Ziad Kalthoum transports us into the lives of Syrian construction workers rebuilding post-war Beirut while their own houses are being bombed in Syria. The Lebanese government has imposed night-time curfews on the refugees and the workers are locked inside the building site. Mute and imprisoned in the cement underground, the only contact with the outside world is when they climb out of their sleeping holes in the morning to begin a new day of work. Tormented by anguish and anxiety, they keep hoping for a different life.
