Yasser Arafat died on 11 November 2004, with the world looking on. His brother, Fathi Arafat, died three weeks later in comparative silence. Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi wanted to confront the PLO leader to get his perspective of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to understand where the future might lie for the Palestinian people. The filmmaker decided to access Arafat through his brother, the president of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. Masharawi trails him through Cairo, Gaza and Paris to learn more about the man at the helm. He met Arafat only briefly in Moqtada, just before he was taken to Paris.
