Cedars in the Pines is a documentary film about Lebanese immigrants who have journeyed from Lebanon to North Carolina and labored here to build new homes, raise families and enrich the state with their culture and hard work. The film tells of a legacy that is as much about great accomplishments as it is about the quiet and unassuming. A singular doctor in a small mountain town or a car mechanic at a Piedmont crossroads becomes a vital thread in the fabric of this state: Lebanese cedars among the pines of North Carolina.

Join the Khayrallah Center and Raleigh Sister Cities to celebrate the partnership between Raleigh and Lebanon. A reception with refreshments will be held at 6:30 p.m., and the film will start at 7 p.m. A brief discussion of the film will follow the screening.
