Director: Anne Poiret
Producer: Magneto Presse
Description:
For forty-two years, Colonel Gaddafi ruled alone over Libya. The nation and the state became inextricably identified with this one man whose image embodied Libya to the rest of the world. The Arab Springs swept away his regime after eight months of conflict in 2011. With Gaddafi’s death the world seemed to lose all interest in Libya. Four years later and hope has given way to chaos. With Libya once again sinking into war, is any kind of coexistence still possible? With former Gaddafi supporters now in exile, the documentary talks with those trying to create a new Libya and understand why the country is collapsing into anarchy.
