How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A raw, unflinching portrait of childhood survival in Beirut's slums, where a child's act of legal rebellion becomes a cry of moral witness against systematic abandonment. The film burns with the fury of the dispossessed while maintaining profound dignity.
