Wadi Khaled is a small village in northern Lebanon, near the border with Syria. The director Christophe Karabakh told in an independent film the lives of its inhabitants, mostly Bedouins, on the margins of Lebanese society. Among the inhabitants of Wadi Khaled and those of Tell Khalakh, Syria, there are strong family ties, far from being erased by a border inherited from the end of the French mandate over Syria and Lebanon after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire at the end of First World War.

Syria, still fighting after the weekend with blood. And the U.S. think of new sanctions
Another day of clashes and protests in Syria, after yet another weekend of blood. Since the dawn of Monday, tanks have been reported in the suburbs of the capital Damascus, as they say organizations for the protection of human rights that are becoming the main voice of the movement against the regime of President Bashar Assad.
The troops were in motion Muhadamiya especially around the neighborhood, where they were cut off electricity and telephone lines and from where, according to eyewitnesses, they get up columns of black smoke. The Syrian army, meanwhile, continue to keep under siege other cities epicenter of the protests, particularly in Homs, DERA, in the south, and Baniyas on the coast.
