Lebanon, which was already suffering from a severe economic crisis, was dealt another major blow when on August 4 the Port of Beirut was destroyed in a powerful explosion.
The blast left 204 people dead, over 7,500 people injured, left 300,000 people homeless, and did over $15 billion worth of damage.
After the explosion, journalist and documentary marker George Eid did not hesitate, with a camera and crew, to shoot a short documentary called The Zeibekiko of Beirut, which records personal testimonies of Greeks that call Beirut home.
See the full documentary that will surely bring you to tears.
