Capernaum
It takes courage to hope.
Directed by Nadine Labaki
Produced by Boo Pictures, Mooz Films
A harrowing, intimate portrait of childhood survival in poverty and systemic neglect, anchored by a child's desperate legal act of defiance.
After running away from his negligent parents, committing a violent crime and being sentenced to five years in jail, a hardened, streetwise 12-year-old Lebanese boy sues his parents in protest of the life they have given him.
