“Karkha: A Village from Lebanon” is a compelling 45-minutes docu-drama.

It is the very first episode of the docuseries “Homes & Heroes”. In a dramatic treatment, it tackles the social issue that has been haunting Lebanon since the 18th century up until today: immigration. The movie takes place in a small village in Southern Lebanon called Karkha while unveiling a rich history of the region since the 1700s and building with the audience an emotional journey that depicts how immigrants make a big difference when they share a piece of their success with their homeland. The significant notion is that all those who appear as actors in the movie are actually the locals from the village whose naturalism and love for their land have spiced up the realism of the documentary.
