Australia Sings for Lebanon and Lebanese people.
Leading film-makers are seeking to change the way we think about other countries. This is one of a powerful series of films to be shown on Pangea Day, May 10, “the day the world comes together through film”.

See all four anthems. Then visit http://www.pangeaday.org and register your screening for May 10. It’s time to imagine a different world.

Here an Australian choir sings the Lebanese national anthem.

The director chose this anthem as a gesture of friendship following the racially motivated riots at Cronulla Beach, a beach-front suburb of Sydney, in 2005.
