There are things we think we know about countries. But viral videos, TikTok and 24 hour news has made everything we understand about other places somewhat misinformed, twisted or just downright incorrect.
Which is why, at Passport, we want to take this misinformation and turn it on its head, upside down, the wrong way round and inside out. We want to clear up some of the outright lies about nations we think we know by doing what we do best. Talking it out with someone who actually does know what they’re talking about.
Think of this as a kind of cultural mythbusters.
Welcome, to MisInfoNation.

Bordered by Israel and Syria on the East Coast of the Mediterranean sea, Lebanon is something of an unknown quantity in the eyes of the world. Its position in the Middle East has never given it much stability in recent history. The lives of the people who live there, even the young adults, are tarnished with conflict but also an undeniable resilience and perspective.
The Lebanese are impassioned, intelligent and intense personalities and we are lucky enough to call the brilliant Hasan Chaaban a friend. We sat down with him here in Barcelona to get deep into the culture, the conflict, the history, the food and the customs of one of the strangest and most complex countries in the world.
