Hosted by Fred Craden
In modern day Beirut, an insult blown out of proportion finds Tony, a Lebanese
Christian, and Yasser, a Palestinian refugee, in court. From secret wounds to
traumatic revelations, the media circus surrounding the case puts Lebanon
through a social explosion, forcing Toni and Yasser to reconsider their lives
and prejudices. Nominated for an Academy Award, The Insult is a unique thriller that explores questions of guilt,
justice and honor in the Middle East. (Lebanon,
