“Under Siege” (“Palacio”) the fictional series inspired by the storming of Colombia’s Palace of Justice by an M-19 guerrilla commando and its subsequent retaking by the Colombian army, bows Nov. 6 on Netflix.

The events, which unfolded in the capital of Bogotá on Nov. 6 and 7, 1985, is recounted in the eight-part series directed by a troika of directors comprising Edgar Nito (“The Gasoline Thieves”), Samir Oliveros (“Bad Lucky Goat”) and Guatemala’s Jayro Bustamante (“La Llorona”), whose latest feature, “Mountains of Fire” (“Cordillera de Fuego”) represents Guatemala at the Oscars, his fourth bid at the golden statuette.
