From the beginnings in 1954 to the last blazes of 1962, the main stages are told by direct actors in a constant back and forth between personal situations and events: pacification, the FLN, the Constantinois riots in 1955, ambushes, reprisals, the battle of Algiers, the DOPs, the fighter commandos, the liquidation of the harkis...
A film by Patrick Rotman
