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 The images that were saved represent an unprecedented historical document: They tell of the Algerian War and the history of the ALN (National Liberation Army), as well as showing life after the war and, particularly, the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.

Ce film documentaire est sorti à l’occasion du cinquantenaire des événements survenus au moment et après la manifestation pacifique des Algériens du 17 octobre 1961 à Paris durant la guerre d'Algérie, organisée par la Fédération de France du FLN en réaction à un couvre-feu institué par le préfet de police Maurice Papon pour les seuls Algériens favorables à l'indépendance de leur pays. La manifestation pacifique sera très sévèrement réprimée par les forces de l'ordre dont le nombre de victimes est estimé entre 80 et 200 morts. Les cadavres seront, pour certains, retrouvés flottant dans la Seine.

En 1954 à Alger, le Front de libération nationale (FLN) diffuse son premier communiqué : son but est l'indépendance nationale vis-à-vis de la France, et la restauration de l'État algérien. Ali la Pointe propose des parties de bonneteau. Repéré par la police, il s'enfuit mais se fait agresser par un passant, il réplique et se fait tabasser par le reste du groupe. Rattrapé par la police, il se fait arrêter. Emprisonné, il assiste par la fenêtre de sa cellule à l'exécution d'une peine de mort par guillotine sur un nationaliste. Le FLN le contacte.
