PROJECT DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Assaad Shaftari is a Lebanese Christian. In 1973, aged 18, he felt a threat to his Christian identity when he saw \u201chis inferior brothers\u201d, the Muslims, were gaining political power. To defend \u201cthe Christian cause\u201d, he joined a major Christian \u201cthe Phalanges\u201d, where he became highly involved in the civil war through developing the intelligence system of the armed branch of the militia named \u201cLebanese forces\u201d.<\/p>\n

After the war, in 1990, Lebanon pardoned all war crimes in the Amnesty Law, but Assaad felt a terrible culpability and admitted being responsible for kidnapping and killing\u00a0hundreds of people.\u00a0\u201cThe Confession\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0will give him the space to confess his acts and confront himself and his victims. The\u00a0film\u00a0will try to\u00a0analyse the reasons behind fanatic attitudes that create potential war monsters and will provoke the involved people to take responsibility.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner padding_top_multiplier=”2x”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/12″ animation=”fade-in” grve_css=”{“desktop“:{“margin-top“:“-25px“,“margin-left“:“-25px“,“class“:“grve-wpb-1744838676618“},“mobile_landscape“:{“margin-top“:“30px“}}”]

When we made our application, the film was in its early stages and it was very difficult to convince international funding bodies that such a complex project could actually succeed. The grant supported our research phase (one and a half years) and allowed us to write a convincing script and shoot the pilot introducing our characters, all of which served to convince other funding agencies to support this ambitious documentary.<\/p>\n

I would like to thank the Alter-Cin\u00e9 Foundation for having believed in this project, and I hope other filmmakers with ambitious documentary projects will also benefit from your support.[\/vc_column_text]
