This is not your
typical revolution. It's not just a group of young idealists pushing for the
stars. The revolution that
has filled Lebanon's streets for months on end has broad-based support. Young and old, rich
and poor, Muslim, Christian and Druze are united in their desire to overthrow
their corrupt and incompetent leaders and save their country and themselves
from economic collapse. After decades of
neglect, the country is on its knees. There's hyperinflation, currency
collapse, high unemployment, constant power cuts and people going hungry like
never before. And now the country is
dealing with the new coronavirus. In a rollercoaster
ride, Beirut-based correspondent Adam Harvey lived through months of protest
and weeks of lockdown and has documented it for Foreign Correspondent. Adam meets ordinary
and extraordinary Lebanese who are struggling to survive and desperately
trying to save the country they love. There's Rima, the
owner of a once-grand now crumbling hotel in the country's east, a former
haunt of kings, queens and presidents. Today tourism has
dried up and the hotel is struggling. Rima spends her time organising food
handouts for hungry neighbours. "The
corruption...has eaten up the Lebanon we've known and we're all trying to
save it", she tells us. He meets Tarek, the
star of Revolution TV who's live-streaming the protestors' every move for his
popular YouTube channel. "It's very sad
what's happening but Beirut will never die. Beirut will get sick...but Beirut
will survive." There's Tala, a young
DJ and part owner of Beirut's biggest nightclub. Instead of spinning discs,
she's in lockdown, worried about her country's future. "Right now, our
country has sunk so low...and it will be very, very hard to come back from
that." And we meet unemployed
Imad Awad, who doesn't have enough money to pay for heating or his wife's
medicine. The coronavirus is
putting more pressure on a country already in strife. But it can't kill the
revolution. As the lockdown lifts, the protestors are coming back. "We want action
now. We want to see a result immediately on the streets for the people -
otherwise there is no country", warns Tarek. In a visually
arresting story, we meet four Lebanese from different walks of life, all
united in their desire to bring their country back from the brink. |

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: It’s February on the
battle-scarred streets of downtown Beirut. There’s been a four month slide towards total
financial meltdown and revolution is still in the air. |
00:40 |
Adam
to camera |
Lebanon is falling apart. This nation survived a
civil war, but it might not make it through its next challenge. There is no
money and no jobs, and people are furious that their state is close to
collapse. |
00:56 |
Protest
shots continue |
Months of angry protests have unified rich and
poor, young and old, Christian, Muslim and Druze. They want to dump all of
Lebanon’s political leaders and start again.
They call it the Revolution -- ‘Thawra’ in Arabic. |
01:10 |
Tarek

And live-streaming it all to 60,000 followers,
Thawra TV. Tarek:
"What’s the story here today?" Woman: "We’re here until the end." ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: Its chief cameraman,
producer and on-screen talent is Tarek Hmaydane, a wheeler-dealer businessman
turned social media star. |

TAREK HMAYDANE:
When the Lebanese media is not there Thawra TV is there. |

Thawra TV is with every revolution with their

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: This is as close to Lebanon’s parliament building,
and the politicians, as protestors can get. |

After a 15-year civil war ended in 1990, the city
centre was immaculately restored. It now lies derelict, scarred by political
upheaval. |

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: The protesters have already toppled a prime
minister and his cabinet, but their allies are still in power. TAREK HMAYDANE:
They’re not
changing. That’s why we are waiting for the election. |
02:34 |
Tarek
interview |
You cannot change people by parachute like what
happened with the government. They put people in places. The Thawra has to
elect their own leaders. And that’s the only way, is by election. |

Protestors:

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: Face masks to protect against tear gas will soon have another
use. As protestors are warned of a strange new threat looming – coronavirus. The corruption and self-interest they fight
against has left Lebanon woefully underprepared for this new crisis. |
02:59 |
Protest

Protest leader: “Corona is spreading in Lebanon!
Yesterday, there were problems in the hospitals! They're ignoring it! The
Ministry of Health isn’t prepared. Here, now if someone has the coronavirus,
we’d be all infected! TAREK HMAYDANE:
It’s very sad what’s happening. |

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: One group of middle-class
revolutionaries has moved away from the barricades and into one of Beirut’s
poorest suburbs; a mixed community of locals and Syrian refugees. Led by
independent MP, Armenian Christian, Paula Yacoubian. |
04:09 |

PAULA YACOUBIAN: Every Sunday we go to places
like this and we cook |

to give people a hot meal. So today my friends
are cooking here in this place. This is one of the poorest areas of Beirut.
Never before in my life, not even in the civil war, I’ve seen so much pain,
misery, suffering. And for the first time, I hear Lebanese people asking for
food. |
04:39 |

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: There’s often no power, and
the water is unsafe to drink. Three quarters of the country’s six million
people could soon be living in poverty, in a nation that already hosts 1.5
million Syrian and Palestinian refugees.
In just a few months, unemployment’s already doubled and continues to
soar. The government is seen as corrupt and incompetent. |

contagion. This would be the last
mealtime for the soup kitchen. Fearing they could spread the virus, volunteer
support is stopped. |

was a contender to run the World Bank. ZIAD HAYEK: This political structure is a cause
for corruption, |
07:37 |
Ziad

because each leader protects his or her own
people. Mostly his people. Therefore, there is no accountability, and without
accountability people feel free to do deals. |

with its own formidable militia, trained and
funded by Iran. |
08:18 |
|
ZIAD HAYEK: Hezbollah being the most powerful
Shia party in Lebanon, and being the only party that is armed, has
significant power, and is practically in a position to dictate to the country
nowadays what it wants happening in politics. Hezbollah was opposed to the revolution
because they feared |
08:30 |
Ziad
interview |
that if the current system, where they have the
most power among the parties and they can control the government, if that
system changes, they will be in uncertain territory and this unknown
territory scares them. |

It's our time to forget. It’s always been like this in a more metaphorical

let loose. |

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: Nightclub co-owner, DJ Tala Mortada, is a big

country. |

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: Lebanon has been living beyond its means
for years. The country’s government
debt ratio is the third highest on the planet, but the bill is finally due.
In March, for the first time, Lebanon couldn’t pay its foreign debt
instalments. No one here knows it yet, but this will be the last dance at the
Grand Factory; outside, corona is closing in. |

RIMA HUSSEINI:
What we’ve seen with the movement since the 17th of
October, we’ve found that the corruption has eaten up the Lebanon that we’ve
known, and we’re all trying so hard to save it. |

Rima’s father was shot dead walking to the post
office. The father of her teacher, Mayssa, was a prominent journalist,
targeted because of his investigative reporting. |
12:28 |
|
RIMA HUSSEINI:
My father was killed by a sniper. Her loss was even more dramatic. Her
father was actually assassinated by a car bomb in front of their eyes, |
12:46 |

and that was political assassination. |

ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: Much of Rima’s life is
lived beyond Beirut. We head away from the coast, over the mountains to the
Bekaa Valley. |
13:28 |
|
Music |
13:42 |
|
ADAM HARVEY,
Reporter: During the civil war, the Bekaa was a haven for
drug lords and an array of extremists. Today, it’s a Hezbollah stronghold,
and leader Hassan Nasrallah looms large. |

RIMA HUSSEINI: If you connect the dots of the regions, of the poverty, and somebody
bring them under one umbrella and offer them services underneath it, why
wouldn’t you join? |
14:04 |
|
ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: These are desperate times
in a place that was already desperately poor. |
14:18 |
|
RIMA HUSSEINI: In the Bekaa, nothing was done for the past 10 to
15 years. So, the resentment was boiling even before this crisis. Now it's
even worse, because people who could help out are not helping anymore,
because they can't help. |
14:28 |
Baalbek |
ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: In the midst of this troubled valley, in the city
of Baalbek, lies Rima’s pride and joy. She owns a national treasure – the
Palmyra Hotel. RIMA HUSSEINI: This hotel. |
14:41 |
Rima

I love the hotel.
Palmyra is the first hotel in the near east. Can you imagine the
heritage of this hotel? Can you
imagine the history that's inside? ADAM HARVEY, Reporter: The first hotel in the near east? How old
is it? RIMA HUSSEINI: It was built in 1887. |

RIMA HUSSEINI: I do believe that it will survive. How and in
what manner, I really can’t say. And this is why I keep saying that we are
the guardians, if you want, of this place, because this is not for anyone;
this is for Baalbek. It is Baalbek. It is for everyone. |

ADAM
HARVEY, Reporter: The Roman ruins of
Baalbek, one of the great monumental feats of the ancient world. |
17:00 |
|
Built over two centuries, its three vast temples
to the gods Jupiter, Venus and Bacchus have drawn pilgrims for 2,000 years. This really
is an incredible place. It should be full of thousands of tourists, but it’s
not. |
17:11 |
Adam
to camera at temple |
Lebanon is burdened by the crushing
weight of its history. Not just its ancient history, but its modern history
as well. The civil war that nearly destroyed the place ended just 30 years
ago. And the compromise deal that solved the conflict ended up empowering the
militias that had fought the war. And those militias are still in power
today; they're the political parties that run the country. The protesters who
are on the streets say the only way to fix it is to get rid of those people
who are still in power now, otherwise modern Lebanon will end up a ruin, too. |

You can’t imagine the needs, especially these past three or four

Ali." |

RIMA HUSSEINI:
Total absence of governmental help, aid or services. |
18:53 |
Rima

Really, there’s no money for food. And the other
thing is that the little money that you get, you’re spending it on oil for
fuel for warmth. It is one of the coldest areas in Lebanon. You are talking –
the temperature has reached minus 10 and 11. |

I’ve been here before. I mean in 2006 with the Israeli war, and the
first three years of the Syrian war,
not to mention what happened in the War, so the emptiness that we feel
in the hotel will end. This is the story of the hotel. The story of a place
that started as a dream because of those temples, and I think as long as
those temples are there, we’re okay. |
