Former Summer Fellow Kevin Boueri Releases Teaser Trailer for Documentary Film About Lebanon Mountain Trail

Kevin Boueri, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Anthropology and a 2019 Graduate Summer Fellow at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, recently released a teaser trailer for a documentary that he’s creating about the Lebanon Mountain Trail (LMT). The film, titled Jabalna, will be “a series of vignettes painting portraits of life on the trail, the fragility of Lebanon’s mountains, and the LMT’s unique ability to connect and reconnect both travelers and locals to Lebanon’s rich history, culture, and stunning geography.”

The documentary is related to the work Boueri did at the Pardee Center as a 2019 Graduate Summer Fellow, where he wrote a paper exploring community-based conservation in sectarian or post-conflict societies, using the LMT as a case study.

To create the documentary, the filmmakers are seeking donations, corporate sponsorship, and partners at the executive producer level. Contributions are tax-deductible. Learn more here.
