At the end of the 20th century, Sarajevo lived through a 1 395 day siege - the longest siege in human history. 300.000 sarajevians lived through this siege. 11.541 of them were killed and thousands were wounded.A siege is a unique phenomenon in a war, because soldiers and civilians are forced to live together on the front, because military combat becomes a fight to the death, because the absence of supplies puts survival at stake. And Sarajevo is a unique city, where resistance through culture and humor became as striking as the combat and the military events.Rémy Ourdan arrived in Sarajevo in summer of 1992, aged 23. He was looking for adventure, he wanted to witness war and to write. He became a journalist. Captivated by the besieged city, its violence and its charm, and by the people of Sarajevo, he very quickly took the decision to remain in Sarajevo until the end of the war. He says it’s in Sarajevo that he began his life as a man. The siege of Sarajevo is the story of a battle, of a ghetto, and of a resistance movement. It’s the story of a civilization facing the worst challenge of its history.Recounting the story of the siege is recounting the personal stories of those who lived through it : the Sarajevans, the reporters “voluntary besieged”. This film will recount the human adventure of the siege. Through Sarajevo and beyond Sarajevo, “The Siege” which will both be a story rooted in one of the strongest moments in history of the century, and a universal and timeless story, a vertiginous descent into war.This 90 minutes documentary is directed by Rémy Ourdan and Patrick Chauvel. Revisionnings are being conceptualized.
