Description: Poignant and compelling - Lindsey Hilsum Essential and urgent - Kim Ghattas Lebanon and the wider Middle East is in crisis. Journalist Dalal Mawad weaves an extraordinary story of survival corruption and impunity. On August 4 2020, a huge explosion in the heart of Beirut killed hundreds of people it is the apocalypse of a sequence of events that have led to Lebanon's unprecedented collapse. Award - winning journalist Dalal Mawad was in Lebanon when the devastating blast occurred and was one of the first journalists to report on it. She set out to record the stories of those long discriminated against mothers who lost their children spouses who lost their partners refugee women who have fled from the war in Syria and who now find themselves in another failing state. We hear from the Lebanese grandmother bankrupted by the small nation's collapse who remembers Beirut's glory days of the 1960s. Their personal stories converged to tell the story of a nation whose glory days are long gone now riven by protracted violence lurching from crisis to crisis and fighting to survive. It tells not only of what these women have lost but also what Lebanon has lost and a part of the Middle East that is no more.
