Synopsis

Does hope still have a place in Lebanon? Despite enduring countless crises, wars, and social divides, a flicker of hope remains—sometimes toxic, often elusive. In “Toxic Hope,” Salim Saab interviews activists, artists, and everyday citizens, exploring what hope means in a country fraught with turmoil. Will the spirit of the October 2019 revolt reignite their belief in a better future?
