Home Movie of Lebanon [5/6]

This regular 8 reel was generously donated by Marsha Shiver who received the movie from her, Joseph El-Khouri. The video was taken in Lebanon during a family visit back. This video includes scenes of the El-Khouri family and their extended relatives, socializing and sightseeing. While most are unidentified, the video includes Reverend Maroun El-Khouri and Sister Victorine El-Khouri. The latter half of the recording includes scenes from a wedding, including a procession to a church with drums and men in fezzes.

The video was taken in Lebanon in the mid to late 1950s. The recording does not include sound.
