A native Beiruti takes a journey to the edge of her city, where she is drawn to explore a state of oneness with an endemic flower. The flower’s endangered status stirs up questions about the scattered sense of belonging and duality of her world.

THE EARTH WEAVERS - Directed by Wassim Tanious

It’s a journey with two dedicated men to encounter the Juniper tree, revealing their active connection to this tree thus restoring its lost value as a sacred living organism, a keeper of memory and an ecological pillar essential in our present time and to our future.
