Napoleon's expedition to Egypt some 200 years ago is intentionally portrayed as an act of post-revolutionary humanism. But we often ignore how the Egyptians perceived and reacted to this occupation, which laid the groundwork for future French colonial policies in Africa. This film offers Egyptian historians the opportunity to react to this period of Franco-Egyptian relations, and thanks to a rich iconography, dismantles the mechanisms of a legend deftly created and maintained by France.
