(BEIRUT, LEBANON) — A short online documentary published on Sept. 2 takes us through the historic ‘You Stink’ protests which have caught global media attention for weeks now.

Thousands of Lebanese protesters have gathered in downtown Beirut over recent weeks for the largest anti-government demonstrations in the country’s history.

Many protesters are calling for a revolution to end political corruption which has literally left Lebanon drowned in trash.

The activist group ‘You Stink’ started the movement earlier last month in response to the trash crisis, which began when residents south of Beirut barricaded a landfill to complain of toxic fumes.

The documentary was directed and shot by Jackson Allers, and edited by Inaam Attar for Audio Kultur — a self-described platform for music, art, and culture.
