Sirens


Documentary | United States, Lebanon | 2022 | 79 min | Arabic, English

Synopsis

Beirut. Lilas and her thrash metal bandmates, Shery, Maya, Alma and Tatyana (Slave to Sirens), have big dreams but few opportunities. When the band’s appearance at a UK music festival isn’t the life-changer they had hoped for, Lilas comes home to Lebanon on the brink of collapse. At the same time, the complicated friendship between Lilas and her fellow guitarist, Shery, starts to fracture. The future of her band, her country and her dreams are now all at stake. She must decide what kind of leader she will be as a young woman struggling to define herself in Lebanon, a region of the Middle East as complex as each of the Sirens themselves.
