Cedars in the Pines - The Lebanese in North Carolina
The Lebanese-American Studies program at North Carolina State University has just released a new documentary, Cedars in the Pines, exploring the two waves of Lebanese migration to that state (1900's and 1970's). The 6 minute trailer provides a nice overview of the film. While this documentary focuses specifically on North Carolina, those in the film mention a lot of the same issues Lebanese immigrants throughout the U.S. dealt with (including those to the Northeast) when they arrived and throughout their lives. I just received a copy of the DVD in the mail today and can't wait to review it and share it with everyone. Here are links to the research project and the short preview of the film that you can watch on YouTube:

Watched this last night and was very impressed. Interesting to see the differences and similarities that the two waves experienced. Maybe have a showing of it at the reunion next year...?
