To all those who know only the silence of their story, Dorothée-Myriam Kellou dedicates her work as a journalist and independent director. Because when the file of colonial Algeria is reopened, it is true that the words “silence” or “erasure” always work muted on both sides of the shore.
Except that with the generation of thirty-year-old graduates, the bad wind of history begins to whisper. With a Master’s degree in Arabic studies from Georgetown University in Washington DC and the Institute of Political Studies in Lyon, in silence and erasure, Dorothee-Myriam Kellou began to dig on the side of oblivion, on the side of the father who said nothing of his Algerian childhood. Allah berek there, the harvest is rich. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Evian Accords which mark the end of the Algerian war, we will discuss his documentary In Mansourah, you separated us on the regrouping camps during this war and his podcast on France Culture, a real investigation into I’Algeria of the camps.
