The story of how the colonial French army learned how to effective suppress independence movements in Algeria through torture and death squads. It also reveals how this knowledge was welcomed by US and Latin American military academies who used it to educate new recruits. The 1967 movie “Battle of Algiers” was also a popular tool in this grim education. To make up for a lack of archival reel, footage from this movie is used in the documentary. |
