One month after the tragedy in Beirut, I'm releasing this powerful new video “Who’s Sorry Now”. I recently collaborated with the Lebanese video artist and filmmaker Suzie Selman to create this powerful new video about the situation in Lebanon and specifically in Beirut after the calamitous blast that killed, injured and destroyed a whole city and a shocking number of lives and livelihoods. Even before the Beirut blast, Lebanon has been experiencing an economic meltdown. The Beirut blast pushed the already dire situation for much of the population over the edge in just a few fateful seconds on August 4th, 2020. The damage and the plight are unimaginable.
