Event Description

Frantz Fanon, un psychiatre français originaire de la Martinique vient d’être nommé chef de service à l’hôpital psychiatrique de Blida en Algérie. Ses méthodes contrastent avec celles des autres médecins dans un contexte de colonisation. Un biopic au cœur de la guerre d’Algérie où se livre un combat au nom de l’Humanité. ___ Frantz Fanon has just been appointed chef medical officer at the psychiatric hospital of Blida, in Algeria. Very soon, the innovative methods and the humanistic treatment he gives to Algerian patients attracts him the wrath of his colleagues and the director of the institution. However Frantz Fanon is not a man who lets be stepped on. His determination and his ideas generates interest of FLN and his leader Abane Ramdane, who offers to join the cause. In a context where tensions between the French army and FLN are becoming increasingly evident, Frantz Fanon sounds like a traitor. With his wife Josie, they are caught in a vortex of violence which lead them to take up the cause for the independance of Algeria.
