Through coverage of Lebanon’s 2005 legislative elections—the first since the end of its 15-year civil war without the presence of occupying Syrian forces—this Wide Angle report explores political change in the oldest democracy in the Middle East. It also provides a solid grounding in Lebanese politics for viewers studying current events in the region. A democracy advocate, a Hezbollah candidate, and a youth organizer for the Future Movement air their views as the Lebanese political process grapples with old sectarian tensions. (60 minutes)
