Genet à Chatila

This documentary focuses on Jean Genet's visit to the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut just after the September 1982 massacre. Suffering from throat cancer and nearing the end of his life, Genet writes about his experiences, which ultimately inspire his last book, "Un captif amoureux." The film juxtaposes Genet's reflections with the ongoing struggles of the Palestinian people.

The narrative also includes a young French woman of Algerian descent who reads Genet's book and journeys through the landscapes of Palestinian resistance and refugee camps. Her quest for understanding Genet's connection to the Palestinian cause adds a personal layer to the documentary. This film is not just a historical account but also an exploration of identity, loss, and the power of literature in the face of adversity.
