About the Film

Filmed during the Israeli war on Lebanon in the summer of 2006, 33 DAYS follows the real-life stories of four people: A theatre director working with children who took shelter in a theatre after their homes were destroyed, an aid worker who coordinated emergency relief efforts, a journalist for an underground television station, and a mother trying to cope with her new-born baby.

In this gripping documentary, Mai Masri puts a face on the often-desensitized horrors of war taking us beyond the icy statistics and muted news stories into the fiery reality and courageous hearts of the survivors.
