Yazan Halwani Immortalizes “West Beirut” Movie in a Gorgeous Mural on the Former Green Line. The “Green Line” used to divide Christian East Beirut, and Muslim West Beirut during the civil war 27 years ago. Ziad Doueiri’s “West Beirut” is a classic movie all of us have watched time after time, and reflected on how the situation back in the 70s, is still relevant and significant today. Tarek is a young Muslim boy, and the movie revolves around him and a young Christian girl called May, whose family sought refuge in West Beirut. Make sure you go down to Sodeco, and walk towards the National Museum (Mathaf) area, and it’ll be on your right hand. It’s important to note that the “Noueiri” building that features this mural, suffered heavy damage during the Lebanese Civil War, and was rebuilt after, making it the perfect canvas, in the perfect location, for such a powerful message. credit: https://ginosblog.com
