2007 | Color | 135 min Is he a Communist, an Anticolonialist, or far-right sympathizer? What exactly drives Jacques Vergès? Barbet Schroeder investigates the mystery of the man. The enigmatic lawyer begins his career with the Algerian War for Independence and the defence of Djamila Bouhired, an activist who embodies the people's determination to gain freedom.
