documentary by Djamel Sellani - 2005 - 56mn.
The Algerian war broke out back in 1st November 1954. Louisette Ighilariz, Eliette Loup and Fatma Baïchi, go back to where it all happened in Algiers and tell us their story of their commitment to put an end to social injustice. Forty years later, Louisette Ighilahriz reaches the end of a long quest to pay tribute to the man who saved her from torture.
Our film will also be a quest to understand the identity of a generation of women and men who have never spoken out about this war.
