Tadamon! presents this film in an attempt to uncover common myths regarding Lebanon and the Lebanese national resistance perpetuated by the Canadian government and the mainstream media. Canada currently categorizes Hezbollah as a "terrorist" organization, while Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, qualified the devastating 2006 Israeli attack on Lebanon as a "measured response". Canada's current political positions toward the Middle East undermine the legitimate Lebanese and Palestinian national resistance. Domestically Canadian authorities actively criminalize, utilizing "anti-terror" legislation, migrant communities in North America who support popular movements against Israeli apartheid and occupation.
Join Tadamon! for a popular film screening, aimed at creating a space for genuine political debate regarding Hezbollah and Canada's position toward Lebanon's national resistance.
