Ziad Doueiri's film 'The Insult' is one of this year's Oscar nominees in the Foreign Film category. The film, largely a courtroom drama, tackles the cultural, religious and political rifts that exist in Lebanon since 1948. Doueiri spoke with VOA's Penelope Poulou about the film's hard-hitting elements and its message of reconciliation between Moslems and Christians.
