After three years of filming the biggest Shia ceremony in South Lebanon, this short offers a contemporary look at the1300 year old Ashura Shia ritual. The mix of modernity and tradition in Lebanon has made Ashura a platform for young people to meet each other. This film reveals a side to Ashura that the world has not yet seen. A side that is not bloody and violent but ambiguous and compelling.
