Chroniques fidèles, by Abdenour Zahzah
Fanon, a young black psychiatrist, is appointed head doctor at the Blida-Joinville Hospital, where he practices psychotherapy, contrary to the racist theories of the Algiers School of Psychiatry, when war breaks out in his own hospital wards. By delving into the years which Frantz Fanon spent in the Blida-Joinville Psychiatric Hospital, director Abdenour Zahzah’s film sheds light on the genesis of the anti-colonial commitment by the author of “Black Skin, White Masks.”

Year: 2024 Duration: 90 minutes Country: Algeria. Screening in the original language version with Spanish subtitles.
