All Is Well on the Border
1997
Lebanon
45 minutes
Arabic
One of Zaatari’s earliest experiments in documentary video, All Is Well on the Border presents a series of testimonies by Lebanese citizens who were made prisoners during the Israeli military occupation of South Lebanon (1978-2000). Zaatari resists the idea of “giving a voice to those who do not have one”, and adopts a form of self-critique similar to that used by Godard and Miéville in Here and Elsewhere.
