The Insult - Controversial Drama Throws Light on Divided Lebanon and Gets Oscar Nomination

Ziad Doueiri's film 'The Insult' is one of this year's Oscar nominees in the Foreign Film category. The film, largely a courtroom drama, tackles the cultural, religious and political rifts that exist in Lebanon since 1948. Doueiri spoke with VOA's Penelope Poulou about the film's hard-hitting elements and its message of reconciliation between Moslems and Christians.
