“Beirut” is a Hollywood movie which will be released earlier this year. It’s about an American taken hostage during the civil war in Lebanon.
The trailer caused a stir online mainly because it was not filmed in Lebanon, and has no Lebanese actors in it. “Beirut” is just reinforcing stereotypes.
This is what Beirut really looks like!
