Sarajevo lived through the longest siege in modern history. THE SIEGE is a film about those who lived through it, about the human experience of the besieged. Through Sarajevo to beyond Sarajevo, it is the story of a surrounded city, of a battle and resistance.
It is also the universal story of civilization facing a terrible challenge to its existence, of a struggle for its survival. Sarajevo resisted and survived. THE SIEGE describes a vertiginous descent into war.
