Arab spring, high tensioneal Syrian-Lebanese border

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.
