I want people to realize the gentleman who stated his mother stayed in Lebanon was one if the most decent women on earth. Besides stopping all recking balls from taking historic building down, she fought for the environment and she was 100 years ahead of her time. She was alive until 2020 when the explosion damaged Beirut, and building, homes, and historic landmarks that survived the civil war, were damaged severely. She had extensive damage to her family home, and sadly she was injured, which led to her death. I don’t think anyone could ever be like her again.

As a LEBANESE/AMERICAN myself, we migrated ALMOST 50 years ago due to the war, let me tell you, it is not that easy to leave behind your home and your land, seeking for a new future! Especially after leaving this beauty we all watched.thank you for putting this video together, Truly my heart brakes seeing how LEBANON evolved, and what was the reason for all these wars. I remember as a child growing up, First when the syrians took over, then the Palestinians came along to rule our land, as the civil war ravaged Lebanon. As i always wondered, these people ran away from the king of Jordan,for sure it is a strategic spot on the map for them,and i couldn't just connect the dots. Once i remember wishing all syrians death, asking God to ruin their country as they ruined our country,after the killing of one of my cousins at a syrian barricade, simply for his name, and No one dared to get close to his car to even check if the was alive, Was a true horrific scene, simply for his name. As what followed were the Palestinians that took over many homes without even asking or knocking at the door, today what we seebin the news is this Iranian like militia, that extended feom Iran, to Iraq, to Syria and Lebanon, ending up in YEMEN. I believe this is the true issue of the geopoliticall delema, as the gears are shifting form the West to the East. I truly dont know if we ever going to see LEBANON in it's former Glory. Only with Democracy that could be achieved, DESPITE the religious leaders, trying hard to destroy its past as it's future. I wish all LEBANESE living abroad peace joy and love!. I cannot write my religion Nor my faith in God, as that i keep secret in my heart, but i hope the new generations could find some books to read, only to understand where all these Lebanese troubles started. Peace 🇱🇧🇺🇸

Thanks to the christians for making lebnon look like a tourist destination.

These people do not represent Lebanese or Christians within Lebanon. I watched this with an open mind but honestly found it extremely off-putting. First and foremost, they spoke everything but their mother tongue throughout the doco, that in itself is pretentious. Arabic is such a rich and beautiful language, the expression and description it offers is second to none, so why not use it?!? Secondly, they live in a bubble! If this was released in 2019, Lebanon was entering into its biggest financial crisis to date, and there is no way on Earth these people with their millions and therefore connections, didn't know it was coming. I didn't sense any compassion, empathy or humility in anything they said. I understand these people are of the "elite" kind (totally loathe that word, but will use it for want of a better term), but they have proven money doesn't buy class, only groupies who want to snap up a piece of what they have so they put them on pedestals. Yuk!

First of all, the documentary is made to show how ridiculous and burlesque most of these people are. It's not made to show their prestige but only to make fun of them. Second, you are right when saying that these people life is in total contradiction with the Christian faith. The film tries to show this contradictions by showing sequences in churches directly after the sequences with a belly dancer for example. Third, like many people said it in the comments, they don't represent the Christians of Lebanon. Actually , they don't even represent the "rich" Christians of Lebanon. Moreover, lebanese muslims too has an economical "elite" and some of its members are as much decadent and ridiculous as the people we see in this video. Some people said in the comments that these people are responsible of the terrible economical/political crisis in Lebanon but that's not true. They have no/very limited political influence. However, they clearly got advantaged by the system in lebanon with nearly no tax for the riches, no social garanties paid by the employer, low wages ... Finally, to be fair, some of the people presented deserve respect. In particular, the Lebanese Venezuelan which is a smart businessman.

This reflects the currpoted state in Lebenon, where minorities hold authority and resources because of inherited colonialism and imperialism like support of foreign countries. Unfortunately, when you see the majority in a country is suffering of poverty and homelessness while religious minority is holding the power and resources, this is not a normal state my friend. The normal state should be the religious majority is wealthier than the minority. For example imagine Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were Muslims and / or Hindu, not Christians(not the religious or ethnic majority). Also, imagine if the Christian majority in the US is poor and the other minorities like Asian , muslims, and Hindu holds the resources and power. How would the situation be ?. What would be the normal state ?. Is it right for the demographic minority to hold authority and resources in a country over the demographic majority ?

Indian Hindus and Jews in the US tend to be wealthier than average, if you come from an ethno-religious group that promotes education and enterpreneurship plus intercommunal cooperation, that makes the difference.

This isn't just the lifestyle of Christians - this is the lifestyle of the ruling classes/wealthy... I am sure it is the same in most countries regardless of religion - Lebanon is a modern country for many although you may have strata of society that is religious and may live in that manner on a daily basis.

(Secrets of sanatan dharma) is a phenomenal book everyone must read

Love to lebanese christians from orthodox greece

The elite Lebanon is not of interest thus far. Looking for the historic features and villages my ancestors left behind in 1900 ish. Excellent video though!
