However, defenders of digital preservation argue that platforms like Ok.ru serve as de facto archives. When commercial distributors go bankrupt or fail to release a film in a specific region (e.g., the Middle East or North America), the film risks becoming "lost media."

Directed by Danielle Arbid, the film mirrors the instability of Lebanon, leading to its ban in the country due to references to the Rafic Hariri assassination.
