Documentary France,Lebanon,Qatar
Little Palestine: Diary of a Siege is a documentary film directed by Abdallah Al-Khatib. It focuses on the district of Yarmouk, a Palestinian refugee camp located in the south of Damascus, Syria. Yarmouk was home to around 160,000 people, mainly Palestinians, before the Syrian civil war started in 2011. But as the conflict intensified, the district became embroiled in the fighting between the regime and the opposition forces, and the civilians trapped there faced unimaginable suffering.
The film takes the form of a diary, narrated by civilians who lived through the sieges of Yarmouk. It covers the period from late 2012 until early 2014, when the regime imposed a blockade on the district, cutting off food, water, and medical supplies. The siege lasted for more than a year, during which time civilians were forced to eat anything they could find to survive, such as grass, leaves, and even stray animals.
The documentary also highlights the bravery and resilience of the people of Yarmouk, who refused to give up despite the overwhelming odds against them. They organized underground schools, hospitals, and media centers, and fought back against the regime’s attacks with limited resources.
Throughout the film, Al-Khatib captures the horrors of war and the profound impact it has on the lives of ordinary people. But he also celebrates the humanity and courage of those who refuse to be defeated by the violence around them. Little Palestine: Diary of a Siege is a moving testament to the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit even in the darkest of circumstances.
