In the early 1980s, a woman by the name of Bayenne Neuahid, after what took many years of persuasion,

sat down with her aging father to do a project that I've always wanted to do with my own family, record their oral history.

There was especially, yes, there was a special nation between me and my father.

I'll tell you something. I am accused at home that I am his daughter.

This is Bayan.

Number one, maybe we resemble each other.

I look like him more than others in face.

But much more than that, I always wanted to follow his steps.

Of course, my first dream was to become a lawyer.

Because my father was a lawyer. And when I was young, he always encouraged me. My father had time, had time to talk to me.

Yeah, that's my relation with him. And I loved him a lot. And of course, I loved my mother,

but he was my friend more than my mother was friend.

That's a fact.

In 1979, her father had a stroke, and he wasn't able to walk anymore.

He stayed in bed most of the time on a chair, and then he used to write a little bit, read a lot.

He was thinking, of course, and he was dreaming of writing his memoir.

So she offered to help her dad to write that memoir.

This is producer Shahid Ben Yardayarley.

This was around 1980.

The family were living in Beirut by this point.

And she says that every weekend, she drive from her house in Beirut.

Through a very long road, because it was a bit of civil war in Lebanon...
