>> Samidoun: a multi-media journey through the 34 day war in Lebanon  
>> and its aftermath
>> By Ana Nogueira and Andrew Stern
>>
>> Samidoun is a multimedia presentation of the recent war in Lebanon  
>> and its aftermath, produced by award-winning independent reporters  
>> Ana Nogueira and Andrew Stern. Interweaving still photography,  
>> audio and video, Samidoun is a uniquely intimate look at the human  
>> cost of this conflict that took the lives of over 1200 people,  
>> wounded thousands more, and displaced over one million.
>>
>> Democracy Now! correspondent Ana Nogueira and Redux Pictures  
>> photojournalist Andrew Stern traveled to Lebanon while the war  
>> raged, and stayed for five weeks post ceasefire to document the  
>> aftermath of the war. Their work takes us to scenes of horrific  
>> bombings in the southern suburbs of Beirut to the ruins of  
>> Southern Lebanon's Bint Jbail, Aita Chaab and Qana, from tobacco  
>> fields littered with Israeli cluster bombs to the oil-slicked  
>> Lebanese coastline. Featuring interviews with survivors and  
>> families of those not so fortunate, Samidoun provides a rare  
>> glimpse into the hearts of ordinary people whose lives have been  
>> changed forever, and ultimately reveals the steadfast  
>> determination of the Lebanese people to survive and rebuild their  
>> country in the face of unimaginable violence and national anguish.
>>
>> * Samidoun translates from Arabic to "steadfastness," or "those
