Synopsis

In 1962, the French director Yann Le Masson filmed the reunion of Algerian activists as they were released from a French prison where they were serving time for their participation in the Algerian revolution. More than 50 years later, without the soundtrack, the director of this documentary goes in search of these women. Silenced until now, this investigative film tells their story.
