Tracing the intersecting destinies of comrades who were once bound by a shared ideological affiliation and who remain tightly knit friends, We Were Communists is an uninhibited examination of the legacy of Lebanon’s civil war.
Four men recount their battlefield stories, broken dreams, and eventual disillusionment in light of the country’s ongoing political crises. At once artistically and politically audacious, incisive and tender, the film lays bare the daunting reality of Lebanon’s fractured landscape.
