Chroniques fidèles survenues au siècle dernier à l'hôpital psychiatrique Blida-Joinville, au temps où le Docteur Frantz Fanon était chef de la cinquième division entre 1953 et 1956
Algiers, 1953. Frantz Fanon, born in Martinique, joins the psychiatric hospital Blida-Joinville as a new resident. Appalled at the old-fashioned and humiliating treatment of the inmates and the segregation of Muslims, he sets about making reforms. At the same time, he actively opposes the oppressive French colonial regime and develops his theories about colonialism.
Intense docu-drama.
