Claim 2: “A Beirut-based filmmaker whose debut feature film has been described as an ode to the collective courage of the Lebanese people has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the film and her love for the city.”

While the web search results mention 'France 24' and 'Beirut,' and the claim is highly specific, the provided evidence does not contain a direct report confirming that a specific Beirut-based filmmaker made this statement to FRANCE 24 regarding her debut film. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate the specific interaction described.

However, the evidence does not provide specific details or sources confirming the duration of her work (years) or the specific timeframe of gathering footage (the last six years). This detail appears to originate from the context surrounding the claim but is not independently verifiable by the provided sources.
