When I Saw the Sea opens the doors to untold stories, diving into the nightmares of the Kafala system. Three women give voice to the countless migrant domestic workers in Lebanon, navigating between exploitation and freedom, death and life’s defiant celebration. Fearless they sing with their bodies a lullaby made of fire, love, and justice.


"Between the sea and a city ablaze, an oak grips the earth, in its shadow a fox dances, and a girl stares, unwavering, into the horizon."

— Ali Chahrour
