September 16th, 17th and 18th 1982: During the Israeli "Operation: Peace for Galilea" the Lebanese falangista militia, under Israeli army protection led by Ariel Sharon, massacre 2750 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila outside Beirut. Jean Genet, a witness of the wreckage of the slaughter, has written a testimony politically forcible and beautifully awesome on which this film is based.
