How did the Algerian president fall in less than six weeks when he had just run for a fifth term?

A fascinating documentary by journalist and major reporter Benoît Chaumont recounts it based on archive images and other unpublished images taken from social networks, but also on testimonies collected in France and Algeria.

This documentary is broadcast this Sunday, March 28, 2021, at 10:40 p.m. Paris time, on the public television channel France 5.
