Adyan produced a 14 minute documentary film in Arabic on Lebanese witnesses to repentance, forgiveness and peace after having been leading militia men during the civil war. The film consists of interviews with 2 former militia leaders during the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990), one from the Lebanese Forces, a 'Christian' militia, and the other from Murabitun, a 'Muslim' militia.
These two men present a crucial message, especially for the Lebanese youth, because in the post-war period, they re-read their experience and started doing everything possible to make up for it through personal repentance, then a public apology, followed by joint public testimonies focusing on reconciliation and peace-building.
Adyan disseminated this film as part of its awareness program, but also presented it to other NGO's to screen it in to raise awareness among different sectors of the Lebanese society.
On 28 January 2009, the documentary was screened at Umam-Dr, in the festival "Confronting memories 3: War stories from within: male and female." - Video Language:
- English
