Ajay Mathur releases powerful new video, created in collaboration with Lebanese filmmaker

Ajay recently collaborated with the Lebanese video artist and film-director Suzie Selman to create a powerful new video “Who’s Sorry Now” about the situation in Lebanon and specifically in Beirut after the calamitous blast that killed, injured and destroyed a whole city and a shocking number of lives and livelihoods. Even before the Beirut blast, Lebanon has been experiencing an economic meltdown. The Beirut blast pushed the already dire situation for much of the population over the edge in just a few fateful seconds on August 4th, 2020. The damage and the plight are unimaginable. YouTube video link https://youtu.be/Ld7H1eHTEmE So why this video? “Who’s Sorry Now” video aims to raise awareness of the situation long after the images and headline news about this fateful event have vanished. This video is also a call-for-action. There are several organizations listed in the video caption, that are doing good work on the ground in Lebanon. The video aims to encourage the viewer to experience the powerful images and engage, support, and donate however they can. Here are some links to NGO's that are doing good work in Lebanon: Offre Joie: https://linktr.ee/offrejoie Beit El Baraka: https://www.beitelbaraka.org/ Lebanese Red Cross: https://supportlrc.app/donate/ Suzie Selman and two other artists in Berlin started a fundraiser to help female artists in Beirut, who were affected by the explosion. Any help is much appreciated: https://gf.me/u/ypkm8n Please feel free to support any other NGO’s of your choice. The collaboration between Ajay Mathur and Suzie Selman started spontaneously on August 15th with an email for help and an invitation to collaborate. Suzie Selman lives and works in Beirut and experienced the blast and the fallout thereafter first-hand. While a lot of artists avoid topics of social troubles and political struggles, Ajay has never shied away from addressing political struggle, social injustice, human condition, and isolation in his songs. The powerful new video “Who’s Sorry Now” documents this fruitful collaboration. The song on the video “Who’s Sorry Now”, taken from Ajay’s album “Little Boat”, is yet another one of Ajay’s songs that addresses the core of these themes. Ajay has a track-record of collaborating with artists* from different countries and cultures.
