Nadine Labaki & Khaled Mouzanar Discuss "Capernaum"

Published: Dec. 12, 2018, midnight

Lebanon’s official selection for the foreign language Oscar race, "Capernaum" ("Chaos") tells the story of Zain (Zain al Rafeea), a Lebanese boy who sues his parents for the "crime" of giving him life. The film follows Zain as he journeys from gutsy, streetwise child to hardened 12-year-old "adult" fleeing his negligent parents, surviving through his wits on the streets, taking care of Ethiopian refugee Rahil and her baby son Yonas, being jailed for a violent crime, and finally, seeking justice in a courtroom. Join filmmaker Nadine Labaki and the film's composer Khaled Mouzanar at BUILD.
