About This Event

Please join the NCSU Libraries for a screening of Cedars in the Pines, a film which documents 130 years of Lebanese life in North Carolina.  Dr. Akram Khater, director of the Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies, will introduce the film and answer questions after the screening.

More about the film from UNC-TV:

Over the past 120 years the Lebanese have created a rich legacy in North Carolina. They brought innovation, perseverance, and faith along with their dreams and hopes for the future. Their kitchens enthrall our senses with recipes crafted across generations, and their music and dance fill our festivals and neighborhoods with sights and sounds that convey the richness of Lebanese culture. They are Lebanese cedars in the Carolina pines. Runtime 60 minutes.
