About

Nine million Syrians have left their homeland since the breakout of the war, of which over 1.5 million are in Lebanon. The Long Season offers rare insights into life in an informal Syrian refugee camp, following the tales of those awaiting to return to Raqqa, their home town that was captured by ISIS. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Producer Pieter Van Huystee, moderated by Anna Crowe, Lecturer on Law and Clinical Instructor at the International Human Rights Clinic.

Dinner will be served.
