Fedayee, Georges Abdallah's Fight
Fedayee, Georges Abdallah's Fight

Storyline

Fedayin, the fight of Georges Abdallah traces the journey of a tireless Arab communist and fighter for Palestine. From the Palestinian refugee camps that shaped his conscience, to the international mobilization for his release, we are going to discover the man who became one of the oldest prisoners of Europe. We follow his involvement in the Palestinian resistance during the Lebanese War and then in Europe within the FARL (Lebanese Revolutionary Armed Factions). We will find him in France where he will be arrested in 1984 and convicted of complicity in the political executions of representatives of the United States and Israel. Beyond the judicial and political harassment of which Georges Abdallah is a victim, the film traces a life of resistance through a series of interviews in Lebanon, meeting his family, his relatives and former comrades but also in Europe with his lawyer, his supporters and people who worked with him. Now free for more than 20 years and despite confinement, Georges Abdallah continues an essential fight against imperialism and colonialism.
