For over a decade through my work as a documentary filmmaker, I have witnessed first hand the human and environmental repercussions of conflict, climate change and plastic pollution in all corners of our planet. These on the ground experiences have embedded within me a deep and unwavering sense of purpose. Founding GroundTruth Productions in 2012 with Sophia, we have since dedicated our lives to capturing human stories from some of the world most challenging environments.

As the Syrian war continues to leave entire generations without education, health care, or a state, Lost in Lebanon closely follows four Syrians during their relocation process. The resilience of this Syrian community, which currently makes up one fifth of the population in Lebanon, is astoundingly clear as its members work hard to collaborate, share resources, and advocate for themselves in a new land. With the Syrian conflict continuing to push across borders, lives are becoming increasingly desperate due to the devastating consequences of new visa laws that the Lebanese government has implemented, leaving families at risk of arrest, detention, and deportation. Despite these obstacles, the film encourages us to look beyond the staggering statistics of displaced refugees and focus on the individuals themselves.
