On March 19, 1962, the Evian Accords put an end to the war in Algeria, leaving many wounds open.

60 years after this war which has never really said its name: "war of liberation", "civil war", "events"... how to free speech and soothe these wounded memories?

A group of young people, said to be of the 3rd generation, contributed to this.

"Dis Grandpa, how was Algeria", a great report by Eric Chaurin.

Directed by: Olivier Roux.
