Artist and writer Bassem Saad, DJ and translator Rayyan Abdel Khalek, musical artist Sandy Chamoun, writer Islam Khatib, and organizer Mekdes Yilma examine a cartography of protest, crisis, humanitarian and mutual aid, migrant labor, and Palestinian outsider status. Punctuated by the late Arab Spring, the Black Lives Matter revolts of 2020, and the Beirut port explosion, the film weaves through trans-historical constants, from and mourning to spontaneity and besiegement, propelled by the speech and acts of its performers. If a group action is a riot and not a revolution, then who films it? If four is a riot, it also a congress. Written by Director See less
