Le Soleil assassiné est un film franco-belgo-tunisio-algérien réalisé par Abdelkrim Bahloul et sorti en 2003.

Synopsis

Animateur de l’émission Poésie sur tous les fronts sur une radio algérienne, le poète Jean Sénac choisit, au moment de l’accès à l’indépendance de l’Algérie, de rester dans ce pays.

Mary Mapes, producer of the primetime news program 60 Minutes Wednesday, her crew, and eminent CBS national news anchor Dan Rather face accuracy questions following the airing, in the months before the US 2004 presidential election, of a report that President George W. Bush, then seeking re-election, had in the early 1970s received preferential treatment from officials of the Texas Air National Guard.
