Synopsis
An award-winning web series created by Muriel Aboulrouss and Denise Jabbour, produced by Home of Cine-Jam—‘Zyara’ is an Arabic word that means “visit” or “encounter”. In this series of poeticized portraits featuring authentic emotional stories of resilience from people living in Lebanon, ‘Zyara’ highlights people who transcended their greatest challenges in life and kept moving forward with faith and positivity. We believe that we are here on a visit and we don’t know how short it is. We believe that we need to learn from each other, respect one another and focus on what brings us together, as our tagline says— “Life is a beautiful Zyara”.
