Yehia Jaber is a well-loved Lebanese poet. He grew up in a small town in Lebanon with a strict father. Jaber rebelled (反叛) against his father and became a fighter. But soon he saw that violence was not the way to solve the problem. So Jaber decided to try to change his country in a different way. He became a student and a writer.

When Jaber was a young man he worked as a builder. But the other builders saw what a good student he was. Jaber's co-workers and family knew that he should build up his mind, so they told Jaber to sit and study. Jaber studied until he had built something else.

Instead of fighting with a gun, Jaber began to use poetry as a form of protest. And he is not the only poet to do this. Roxana Vilk made a film about six Middle Eastern poets. These poets have become leaders. Their poems show people what is happening. They also encourage people to work for change. In this film, Yehia Jaber says: "Basically, poetry is a cry of 'no'. It is a 'yes' for change. The relationship between poetry and protest is a deep one. All revolutions begin as poetry. Poetry is questions. Change begins with questions."
