Scope and content
The history of Algeria from before 1830 to May 8, 1945. Going against all preconceived notions, the film reveals the reality of a country that, prior to colonization, had reached a level of development comparable to many European nations. It also exposes the hidden truths of colonial practices. The film ends with the May 8, 1945 massacre in Sétif, a prelude to the November 1954 uprising. With the participation of writer Kateb Yacine. In this documentary, made for Algerian Radio and Television in 1985, René Vautier revisits colonial history, tracing Algeria's past through engravings, drawings, and paintings from the pre-colonial era, accompanied by numerous interviews. The film includes extensive archival footage and an excerpt from René Vautier’s La Folle de Toujane, in which teacher Gilles Servat speaks with his students.
