Chronique d'un siège
Synopsis
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.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
