Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards, The Insult is a compelling and emotional look at an altercation gone awry and the media firestorm that ensues. A civilian dispute blown out of proportion finds a Lebanese Christian, and a Palestinian refugee, facing off in court. As the media circus surrounding the case threatens a social explosion in divided Lebanon, the two men reconsider their values and beliefs as revelations of trauma complicate their understanding of one another.
