Following an alien agent sent to Earth to examine a murder— a couple killing a greengrocer to clear their debt—Radius Catastrophe الأرض المستباحة maps Lebanon’s Northside coastline. The agent’s search for evidence expands into an inquiry into the region’s slow violence, ecological collapse, and industrial decay. As direct causality breaks down, the investigation reveals a marginalized landscape shaped by systemic neglect and economic desperation. What begins as a crime report becomes a broader study of a place where human and industrial forces intersect, exposing the structural conditions that make violence an embedded part of daily survival.
