Frontline is a documentary by René Vautier about apartheid in South Africa, made at a time when almost no films addressed the subject. Banned for twenty years in France, the film offers a unique and powerful historical testimony. Through interviews, archival footage, and critical commentary, Vautier denounces the brutality of the South African regime and the complicit silence of powers like the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. Figures such as Oliver Tambo and Miriam Makeba give voice to the resistance. The film was conceived not as an artistic work, but as an educational and political tool, reflecting Vautier’s tireless commitment to all struggles against oppression.

Interview with historian Jacques Choukroun (bonus material from the DVD René Vautier in Algeria), focusing on the role of independent Algeria in Africa during the 1960s, as well as René Vautier's presence in post-independence Algeria — “the loudspeaker of peoples in struggle,” as the Breton filmmaker with the red camera was called. The discussion touches on: the Bandung Conference, the historic newspaper Révolution Africaine, pan-Africanism, Bouteflika’s role, and the 1965 coup d’état.
