BEIRUT: Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri tweeted Wednesday the trailer to a soon-to-air documentary detailing the life and accomplishments of his slain father- the late premier Rafik Hariri.
The biographical feature, which will air on Friday, Feb. 13 at 9:30 pm, is described in the trailer as “a special documentary that tells the story of a man who gave his life for the country he was forbidden to love.”
The documentary titled “Zaman Rafic Hariri,” Arabic for “The era of Rafik Hariri,” will be simultaneously broadcasted on Future TV, Tele Liban, NBN, OTV, LBC and MTV on the eve of the tenth anniversary of the premier’s assassination.
Wednesday’s trailer revealed snippets of interviews conducted with Lebanese politicians who were close to the prime minister, such as Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk and Future bloc head Fouad Siniora.
In line with the spirit of the documentary, the preview displayed a montage of old photographs of Hariri, such as one black and white image of the elegant young businessman fawning over his bride Nazek on their wedding day. The promo also showed archived footage of Hariri’s meetings with world leaders and religious figures.
According to a statement released by the producers, the film will delve in to a detailed account of the “main phases” of Hariri’s life-from his birth up until his death.
“Hariri has placed the corner-stone to the future and left behind a chapter in history that is called the era of Rafik Hariri,” the statement read.
Hariri was assassinated on Feb. 14, 2005 along with 21 others, in a car explosion in Downtown Beirut.
