We're joined by Tom Young for Episode 28 of The Beirut Banyan, and we get an artist's portrayal of a country he loves and considers home.

Tom is a trained architect and talented painter, and applies his appreciation for urban heritage to his paintbrush, reflecting on Lebanon's abandoned past and illustrating scars and wounds left open from from the civil war.
