Summary

This documentary film with a cinematic aesthetic paints the portrait of ex-hostages (FARC in Colombia, AQIM in the Sahel, ISIS or Al Qaeda in Syria, Ansar al-Sharia in Yemen, etc.). Stories beyond reality, restored in all their singularity thanks to privileged access to hostages.

Best Documentary Award 2019 at the Venice Film Festival
