Screening + Q&A: America's Complicity in bombing Lebanon

Made in America investigates the devastating impact of Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon during last year’s war. Israel claimed to be targeting Hezbollah fighters and infrastructure, but more than 4,000 Lebanese people—including women and children—were killed, many inside their homes and residential buildings.On September 23rd alone, 558 people were killed—the deadliest day since Lebanon’s civil war—after Israel carried out one of the most intensive air raids in modern warfare. Among them were a mother and daughter killed when their home in southern Lebanon was destroyed—one of several cases the film looks into.With extensive access to victims' families and collaboration with forensic experts, Fault Lines uncovers evidence of unlawful killings and reveals the central role of U.S.-made weapons in the attacks. The investigation extends to Washington, D.C., in pursuit of answers and accountability.
