* Voices from Sanayeh Gardens of Beirut:

Interviews recorded at Sanayeh Gardens in central Beirut with internally 
displaced Lebanese refugees from the southern suburbs of Beirut. These 
interviews during the first week of the Israeli attack on Lebanon with refugees 
fleeing from the neighborhoods of Haret Hreik & Ouzai in south Beirut.

On the ground in Sanayeh Gardens these interviews depict the conditions & 
political perspectives of internal Lebanese refugees, which at the height of 
the 2006 Israeli attack on Lebanon numbered an estimated 1 million people, 1/4 
of the Lebanese population.

* Street Interviews from the Quebec Demonstration with Lebanon:

On August 6th, tens-of-thousands of people took the streets of Montreal in 
solidarity with Lebanon. The demonstration was the largest to take place in 
Canada during the war on Lebanon & was organized by Lebanese community groups 
in Montreal, Quebec labour unions & social justice groups in the city. Radio 
Tadamon! recorded numerous interviews with participants in the demonstration in 
Montreal.

* Audio from Beirut Solidarity Sit-in with Gaza:

Interviews recorded during an "open sit-in" which took place at Martyrs Square 
in downtown Beirut on July 12th, the same day that Hezbollah captured from the 
border region in south Lebanon. The interviews provide political perspectives 
of Lebanese social activists concerning the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip & 
the first day of the attack on Lebanon.

* Sounds from Montreal Action Against Colin Powell:

Featuring audio from a Montreal demonstration against former U.S. Secretary of 
State Colin Powell who spoke at a Montreal event organized by the Jewish 
National Fund [JNF]. The interviews document voices from the streets who 
demonstrated against U.S. support for the Israeli attack on Lebanon & the 
political role of the Jewish National Fund in fundraising for development in 
Israel on occupied Palestinian land.

* Report from Southern Lebanon on Unexploded Bombs:

A report produced by New York City based independent journalist Ana Nogueira 
from southern Lebanon in the aftermath of the war. The report was produced for 
the radio program Democracy Now! & focuses on the affects of the thousands of 
cluster bombs dropped by Israel on at least 170 villages in southern Lebanon 
during its month-long war against Hezbollah.
