LOS ANGELES, California - From Refugees to Recording Artists -- Endure: Lebanon follows US music producer, Jay Denton, from Los Angeles to Beirut as he writes and records an album with Syrian & Iraqi refugees who have fled dangerous conditions in their homeland.
The documentary gives a compelling, behind the scenes, glimpse into the refugees’ stories. The power of these stories comes to life through the process of songwriting and the journey of making a global album with multiple languages and artists from opposite sides of the world.
From moments of intense sorrow and loss, to moments of hope and perseverance, Endure: Lebanon captures the struggle of fleeing inhumane conditions in their native land and starting a new life as a foreigner. Deeply moved by their stories and musical talent, Denton then returned to the US to feature Los Angeles artists alongside the refugees - weaving languages, styles, and voices together to create the truly cross-cultural 24- track record, For Home.
Film director, Jake Green, beautifully captures ENDURE’s vision of bridging stories from 3 different countries through the universal language of music, and the power of bringing cultures together to amplify the voices of global conflict survivors.
