The main body of this experimental documentary A Fidai Fiis, is the video footage looted by Israel from the Palestinian Research Archives during the 1982 Lebanon War, including footage from several previous Middle East wars and Beirut refugee camps. In addition, a dialogue between a man and a woman like the French New Wave was staged with red graffiti.
