Synopsis

The Lebanese activist Georges Abdallah was imprisoned in France for nearly 41 years. This pro-Palestinian communist resistance fighter was wrongly labeled a “terrorist”. An incredible fake news story and intense pressure exerted by the United States on France were at the origin of this extraordinary length of detention. At 74 years old, he managed to leave prison standing tall, his political convictions intact.
