Film Synopsis
After twenty years of fighting for a free press in Algeria, Malek Bensmaïl
sets up his camera in the offices of the famous newspaper El Watan, which
was never so crucial as in the hour when democracy was floundering and Bouteflika
prepared to run for a fourth term. Bensmaïl introduces us to those
who worked on the paper, showing us their fears and contradictions, in his
personal reflection on the work of the career journalist.
