On the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, observed on November 2nd, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are screening "Gaza Surf Club" directed by Philip Gnadt and Mickey Yamine.

FILM SCREENING | 'Cedars in the Pines' by Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies

The documentary, Cedars in the Pines, narrates the lives of Lebanese immigrants who have journeyed from Lebanon to North Carolina and labored here to build new homes, raise families and enrich the state with their culture and hard work. It tells of a legacy that is as much about great accomplishments as it rests in the quiet and unassuming. A singular doctor in a small mountain town or a car mechanic at a Piedmont crossroads become vital threads in the fabric of this state.

The documentary was produced by Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies, which is dedicated to research about the Lebanese expatriate and diaspora in the U.S. and the world.

The screening is part of the public program of the exhibition ‘Alcântara: The Travels of Dom Pedro to the Arab World in 1871 & 1876’, in partnership with the Embassy of Brazil.
