Fire with Fire

2023 · 1 season

A somber, human-scale drama that immerses you in one woman's precarious survival, asking patience and rewarding it with quiet emotional force.

Starring
Abed Fahed, Karess Bashar, Georges Khabbaz
Overview
Mariam flees the war in Syria and ends up stranded in Beirut — undocumented, alone and utterly invisible to the city around her. Survival pulls her into the orbit of Omran and Aziz, two men whose own complicated lives become tangled with hers in ways none of them expected. A Lebanese drama that uses one Syrian refugee's struggle to illuminate the human cost of displacement — and the unexpected connections formed at the margins of a city under its own strain. Stars Abed Fahd and Karess Bashar.
