When the Lebanese civil war broke out on the streets of Beirut in the mid 1970\u2019s, it separated the lives of its residents from one another by dividing the capital city in two. Wafaa and Hayat both experienced the civil war as teenagers. Wafaa actively participated on the barricades alongside the right-wing Christian militia as one of the few young female fighters. Hayat from a Muslim Shiite family and a little younger in age, mourned the deaths of her two older brothers who joined the militia to protect the young sisters from the harassment of armed groups nestled in their neighbourhood. Emotions of loss and sacrifice resurface when her nephew Ali falls as a Hezbollah combatant fighting ISIS in Abu Kamal, Syria at the end of 2018.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some twenty-five years later, Wafaa now physically worn down, is still loyal to her political views. Guided by fear and mistrust of the other, she believes that a change is possible only through division. Hayat on the other hand, finds comfort and hope in the idea of a unified Beirut, where coexistence between the different ethnic groups and sects remains the only remedy for an ailing nation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In The Sea Between Us, we follow the lives of these two strong female protagonists Hayat and Wafaa, now with children of their own must face the challenging task of passing on the civil war\u2019s violent legacy onto a new generation. In a world that feels more and more globally connected, the film takes on difficult questions to understand why the neighbourhoods of Beirut still feel walled in by invisible boundaries and whether forgiveness and reconciliation are possible in a country still broken over religious and political ideology.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
