Frantz Fanon black skin, white mask : a film

This biography of Fanon demonstrates that his groundbreaking writings remain at the heart of discussions about post-colonial identity, racism and history. It traces Fanon's life and intellectual journey from his beginnings in Martinique to his experiences in France and Algeria, where he aligned himself with the Algerian National Liberation Front and wrote his most influential work, The wretched of the earth, a radical rejection of European colonialism which has become a classic of modern revolutionary theory.

This innovative film biography restores Fanon to his rightful place at the center of contemporary discussions around post-colonial identity"--California Newsreel."@en

Ses 2 oeuvres principales: "Peau noire, masques blancs" et "Les damnés de la terre" ont exploré l'impact psychologique du racisme tant chez le colonisé que chez le colonisateur. Ce film suit Fanon depuis sa naissance en Martinique en 1925 jusqu'à sa mort de leucémie en 1961, en passant par ses études médicales en France et son travail dans un hopital psychiatrique d'Algérie."
