Festival di Cannes, 1975, Cronache degli anni ardenti di Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina riceve la Palma d'Oro. Questa è la prima volta per un film africano. Cronaca meticolosa dell'evoluzione del movimento nazionale algerino dal 1939 fino allo scoppio della rivoluzione del 1° novembre 1954, il film dimostra inequivocabilmente che la "guerra d'Algeria" non è un incidente della storia, ma un lento processo di rivolte e sofferenze , ininterrottamente, dall'inizio della colonizzazione nel 1830, fino a questo "Giorno rosso di Ognissanti" del 1 novembre 54. Composto da sei capitoli, il film dipinge il quadro spietato della storia politica e bellicosa dell'Algeria coloniale. Al centro, Ahmed si risveglia gradualmente alla coscienza politica contro la colonizzazione, sotto lo sguardo di suo figlio, simbolo della nuova Algeria, e quello di Miloud, mezzo pazzo arringa, mezzo profeta, incarnazione della memoria popolare della rivolta, della liberazione dell'Algeria e del suo popolo.

Frantz Fanon is a renowned politician and decolonialisation activist. This feature focuses on his visionary social therapy methods during his time as a psychiatrist in Algeria from 1953 to 1956. A piece of sober anti-racism.

The largest country in the Arab world and a producer of hydrocarbons, Algeria has everything it needs to weigh on the international scene. But Africa's second military power seems undermined by its internal problems. While the Bouteflika regime has fallen and the popular “hirak” movement has shown that the people are ready to enter a more democratic era, the country appears as a colossus with feet of clay, which has failed enhance their independence. How did this isolation come about? From the “dark decade” of terrorism to the fall of Bouteflika, via 9/11 or the Arab revolutions, this documentary sheds light on Algerian foreign policy in recent decades, while deciphering the strategy of Western powers towards it.
