Walls That Speak is a 47-minute video showing the power of the visual in Beirut's public spaces, and how the graffiti on the city's walls can offer an intriguing insight into the complex psyche of the people.

The artists featured are a testament to the city's vibrant and emerging art culture, which our protagonist Rajwa in the documentary From My Point of View harnesses to promote her campaign to take back the sea.
