The Last Assyrians (French: Les Derniers Assyriens) is a French documentary film by Robert Alaux.

Synopsis

This film begins in the Chaldo-Assyrian community of Sarcelles, France (Paris metropolitan area) and tells of the rebuilding of the identity of the Eastern Aramaic-speaking Assyrian Christians. They are one of the first people to convert to Christianity and they still speak and write Syriac, a north Mesopotamian dialect of Aramaic founded in Assyria during the 5th century BC. Originally all members of the Church of the East, they are today members of the Assyrian Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church Ancient Church of the East, Syriac Orthodox Church, Assyrian Pentecostal Church, Assyrian Evangelical Church and Syriac Catholic Church. They originate from northern Iraq, south east Turkey, north east Syria and north west Iran (in essence the area that was known as Assyria from the 25th century BC to the 7th century AD) and are the descendants of the Semitic peoples of ancient Upper Mesopotamia.

Ce documentaire tente de décrypter les commentaires tenus sur le conflit israélo-palestinien et de répondre aux questions suivantes : comment parle-t-on du conflit au Proche Orient ? Comment parle-t-on de ses protagonistes ? Pourquoi ces troubles font-ils l'objet de passions aussi fortes ? Quelle est la mécanique des médias qui instruisent l'opinion ?
