Les médias modernes aiment à se proclamer « contre-pouvoir », et se vanter de leur « indépendance », se constituant en rempart de la liberté de parole et de pensée. Pourtant, la grande majorité des journaux, des radios et des chaînes de télévision appartiennent à des groupes industriels ou financiers intimement liés au pouvoir économique et politique. Au sein d’un périmètre idéologique minuscule se multiplient les informations pré-mâchées, les intervenants permanents, les notoriétés indues, les affrontements factices et les renvois d’ascenseur.

This movie depicts Frantz Fanon's life. A psychiatrist from Martinique, he became a spokesman for the anti-colonialist struggle. In 1952, Frantz Fanon wrote Black Skin, White Masks, an analysis of racism and the ways in which its victims internalize it. In the 50s, he aided the rebels of the Algerian anti-colonial war. Expelled from Algeria in 1956, he moved to Tunis, Tunisia, where he wrote for the rebel newspaper El Moudjahid, founded one of Africa's first psychiatric clinics and wrote several books on decolonization. He died from leukemia in Washington, D.C., at the age of 36.
