In 1954, the Algerian war of liberation began, shaking the French colonial regime installed since 1830. It was the start of eight long years of bitter conflict, one of the most traumatic of the century. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Evian Accords, this documentary series delivers a story as enlightening as it is touching, combining archives and testimonies from those who lived through this war, in Algeria, France or in exile.
