| User ReviewMarina SInteresting, though ending a bit abrupt and a little hard for outsider to follow. |
| User ReviewGhawiya MThe scirpt is great, so was the Dabke and the music. I felt like I was touring Lebanon while watching it. |
| User ReviewAmineh AReturning to Beirut after a fifteen-year exile in France, Kamal reunites his high school dance troupe in order to introduce a modern variation on the traditional Middle Eastern dance, the dabkeh. When his modern routines are rejected by the jury of the National Dabkeh Festival, Kamal and his friends obtain a colorful tour bus and take their show on the road, bringing their jubilant music and dance to towns and villages throughout Lebanon. Featuring the work of some of the most popular actors, dancers and choreographers in the Arab world, Bosta is a thrilling musical feast for the senses. |
