En racontant l'histoire de l'Institut National du Cinéma (INC), de ses films et des gens qui lui sont liés, ce documentaire raconte aussi l'histoire d'une jeune nation africaine. Quel rôle le cinéma peut-il jouer dans la reconstruction des valeurs culturelles? Ou quel rôle peut-il jouer dans la destruction de ces valeurs? Après des siècles de colonisation, suivis d'années de guerre civile, de famine et de destruction, un pays tente de réfléchir sur son passé, reconstruire son identité et réclamer sa dignité.

In 1962, René Vautier, together with some Algerian friends, organized an audiovisual formation center to encourage a "dialogue in images" between the two factions. A film was edited from that experience, but the French police partially destroyed it. The images that were saved represent an unprecedented historical document: They tell of the Algerian War and the history of the ALN (National Liberation Army), as well as showing life after the war and, particularly, the reconstruction of the cities and the countryside after the war of Independence.

There are five cameras — each with its own story. When his fourth son, Gibreel, is born in 2005, self-taught cameraman Emad Burnat, a Palestinian villager, gets his first camera. At the same time in his village of Bil’in, the Israelis begin bulldozing village olive groves to build a barrier to separate Bil'in from the Jewish Settlement Modi'in Illit. The barrier's route cuts off 60% of Bil'in farmland and the villagers resist this seizure of more of their land by the settlers.
