‘Capernaum’ Director Nadine Labaki Turns Her Camera on Post-Blast Beirut to Hold Lebanon Officials Accountable

But as teams of volunteers clear rubble, feed survivors and try to rebuild — and the country’s “corrupt” government, Labaki points out, does the bare minimum — Lebanon’s most prominent filmmaker isn’t staying idle. The only positive development since Aug.
