ww1 Beyond the trenches - Lebanon

“The famine of Mount Lebanon”

In Mount Lebanon 200,00 people perished during World War One. Not from armed conflict, but starvation and disease.

As the project lead, I worked on shaping the style and tone of each episode. I focussed on scripting, visual treatment, delivery and the social media strategy.

The series ran online in bespoke WW1 iWonder Guides as well as BBC Two and BBC News.

Presented by Carine Torbey

Directed, filmed and edited by Chris West
