SALI

The Sali Hafez Project is a gripping narrative chronicling Hafez’ daring raid on her bank amidst the turmoil of Lebanon’s economic crisis. From her rebellious upbringing in a patriarchal society to her involvement in protest movements, this story will capture her journey leading to the heist, the ramifications of that audacious act, and how it was viewed from various character witnesses, including tellers, authority figures, and members of her own crew. From there, the story branches out through the eyes of these diverse characters as they interpret Sali’s act in their own personal light, offering a kaleidoscope into Lebanon’s complex social tapestry. Focused on accessing funds for her sister's cancer treatment amidst restrictions to deposits and scarce medicine, Sali's heist, which received international coverage, becomes a symbol of defiance against corruption and institutional collapse, inspiring others to seize control of their destinies in the face of adversity.
