GREEN LINE uses miniature sets of Beirut and figurines to reconstruct Fida’s turbulent upbringing during the Lebanese Civil War that took place between 1975 and 1990. With the help of these models, Fida confronts the ex-militiamen who operated during her 1980s childhood in West Beirut — the same militiamen who claimed to protect her but who actually frightened her so much.
