Overview

On a remote, isolated, unnamed Lebanese village inhabited by both Muslims and Christians. The village is surrounded by land mines and only reachable by a small bridge. As civil strife engulfed the country, the women in the village learn of this fact and try, by various means and to varying success, to keep their men in the dark, sabotaging the village radio, then destroying the village TV.

This spirited troupe of women ... makes us citizens of the village, invested in their joys and fears. We grieve with them, under that burning sun, and hope with them for a lasting peace.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten

"Where Do We Go Now?" is more interesting than satisfying.

Tom Long, Detroit News

With elements of a musical, a melodrama and a multicultural romance, "Where Do We Go Now?" is as hard to define as the crossroads region where it's set.

Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten

This is energetic, bursting with sincerity, yet also frustrating and disappointing.

Trevor Johnston, Time Out

It is, at times, a charming reprieve from the usually dour cinematic explorations of Middle Eastern conflicts.
