Beirut Trauma Box is an audio documentary by Elena Dikomisit about the Beirut port explosion of 4 August 2020, which devastated the city. This man-made disaster killed more than 200 people, injured more than 7000, and displaced an estimated 300 000 residents. To date, no one has been held accountable.

Developed over several years, the documentary responds to Lebanon's changing context and to the layers of trauma and crisis that have accumulated since the blast.

The 5-minute trailer, created in collaboration with Aude Abou Nasr, is built around the concept of the trauma box, a container for the complex, shared experience of the Lebanese people. As the trailer unfolds, the box morphs into a map of Beirut, drawing the viewer back into the explosion through the eyes of those who lived it.
