OUR RECENT WORK

Filmed amidst the backdrop of a fragile political landscape and a looming crisis, our documentary explores the diverse faces of Lebanon, a nation grappling with relentless challenges that span humanitarian, economic, and militant fronts. With unprecedented access to Hezbollah operations and the personal narratives of those affected by the crisis, Burning Cedars reveals the human stories often hidden behind the headlines. We are also the first international news crew to secure an interview with a Hezbollah commander in 2024.
