A Lebanese journalist documenting the conflict with Israel has no choice but to evacuate his family from the south.
When 26-year-old Hussein Bassal chose to become a video journalist, he never imagined that he would be documenting his own family's journey in motion. Between southern Lebanon and Beirut, he covers Israel's ongoing war on his country, capturing unique images, despite security threats and the devastation caused by continuous bombings.
As well as telling the stories of the people displaced by the war, Hussein's mission is very personal. He aims to capture and preserve the daily life of Lebanon for his nephew and niece, who are forced to flee Lebanon and leave their lives behind.
Forced to Flee South Lebanon is a documentary film by Hussein Bassal.
