Electric wires on the genitals. A metal bedstead attached to the mains. Water torture... Many veterans of the Algerian War accuse Jean-Marie Le Pen of using torture. Early in 1957, at the height of the battle of Algiers, the future president of the National Front was a volunteer in the prestigious 1st Foreign Parachute Regiment. He only remained three months, but for the past 50 years the accusations have accumulated. José Bourgarel spoke to those who were more or less involved in this episode: Algerian witnesses who accuse Le Pen, journalists, lawyers, historians... and Jean-Marie Le Pen himself. To better cast a light on this affair. The result is a solemn, subtle film that allows us to make our own minds up, and perhaps permits the director to avoid a libel suit threatening anyone who brings up these events.
