Chronique d'un siège (2002)

On March 31, 2002, the filmmaker Samir Addallah joined Yasser Arafat's headquarters besieged by the Israeli army. He entered Moqata with a civilian mission for the protection of the Palestinian people and thought, like most of his companions, to make only a short stay of a few hours. But he stayed there for more than a month, until the siege was lifted, sharing with the close guard of the president of the Palestinian National Authority, 200 of his faithful and the members of the civilian mission, precarious living conditions, lack of food, electricity, the tension of explosions, intimidation from an unequal military and psychological face-to-face.
