Former resident focus of film


"A documentary that was two years in the making celebrates the life — and recalls the sacrifice — of a former Henry County student.
It also represented a gift for at least one family member.
Muhannad Bensadik was 21 when he died in Bishir, Libya, in March 2011 while fighting against Muammar Gadhafi.
A documentary on his life, “We Are The Giant,” premiered earlier this month at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, according to Osama Bensadik, who attended the premiere in Utah as an invited guest to see the three-part documentary. It was two years in the making and details Muhannad Bensadik’s sacrifice in the first segment. Parts two and three focus on activists in Syria and Bahrain, respectively, Osama Bensadik said.
It “tells the stories of ordinary individuals who are transformed by the moral and personal challenges they encounter when standing up for what they believe is right. Powerful and tragic, yet inspirational, their struggles for freedom echo across history and offer hope against seemingly impossible odds,” according to online information from Sundance."
