Speaker for Algeria's independence as a journalist, and Ahmed Ben Bella's young collaborator in 1962, Hervé Bourges offers with director Jérôme Sesquin a political thriller and historical investigation at the heart of the Algerian authorities, from the 1962's Evian Accords to the 2002's Arab spring, to meet a country at the challenge of power. They will ask the actors of the time and the main political figures in Algeria, notably Ahmed Ben Bella, president Bouteflika, Aït Ahmed and many others, as well as writers Yasmina Khadra and Boualem Sansal.
Hervé Bourges and Jérôme Sesquin propose a true and historical journey into fifty years of Algerian independence : from the tears of happiness of 1962's Independence to the anger of Bouteflika's regime opponents, to the dark tragedy of the civil war in the nineties. A strong and tragic story who gives us a better understanding of today's and tomorrow's Algeria.
