BEIRUT DAIRIES chronicles, through an intimate focus on one young female who was in attendance, the experiences and implications of the chaotic 2005 activist assembly that formed in the wake of Lebanese leader Rafiq Hariri’s assassination. 33 DAYS follows an unlikely team of heroes--a journalist, a graphic designer, a news director, and a theater director--as they provide emergency aid to soldiers in an Israeli-Lebanese incident in which attacks are launched after members of both sides are taken hostage.
