The Besiegeded Fortress

Director:Philippe Calderon

Genre：Documentary Fiction

Synopsis:

In the middle of the African savannah, in south-eastern Burkina Faso, in the safety of their high tower, termites are hard at work when a drama turns their neat and ordered life upside down.
A deluge of tropical rain floods galleries and chambers, causing cracks and breaches to appear in the termites' castle. Not far from there, a colony of terrible, carnivorous ants prepares to attack. They'll take advantage of the tower's fragility to launch a veritable assault. A merciless war ensues…
Shot with real insects and animals, this documentary fiction films ants and termites closer than ever seen before. Reality has never seemed more like a horror film…!
