Fullplot:

An examination of the career of Jacques Vergès (1925- ), attorney for members of Algeria's FLN, Palestine's FPLP, the Khmer Rouge, Carlos and associates, Klaus Barbie, and other revolutionaries and outcasts. Archival footage, news articles, and photographs mix with contemporary interviews of Vergès, friends, associates, and historians. Connections with Nazis are explored, as well as Vergès's marriage to Djamila Bouhared, his courtroom methods, his disappearance from 1970 to 1978, and the roots of his radicalism. Throughout, Vergès remains playful and charming, with a soupèon of arrogance. The film suggests Vergès's anti-colonial nature is at his center.

Iusto assumenda magnam doloribus magni quisquam. Eius molestiae nam praesentium distinctio. Consectetur deleniti sequi quibusdam et. Explicabo vel sapiente illo beatae ex quibusdam.
