Algeria, unspoken Stories

Genre : Historical

Release date : Tuesday 17 november 2009
Principal country concerned : Column : Cinema/tv

Four Algerians talk about their relationships with the pieds-noirs, the Europeans and Jews who left the southern side of the Mediterranean in masses in 1962, when Algeria proclaimed its independence. From Skikda and Constantine in the East to Oran in the West, from stories of music to accounts of massacres, we follow four dramatic destinies as we are led back to the years of national liberation: a far cry from the clichés on the Algerian War, by a filmmaker whose passion is his country's history.
