Review:
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 soupçon of arrogance. The film suggests Vergès's anti-colonial nature is at his center.

I had no idea a documentary on Jacques Vergès existed so many thanks for putting this on my radar. I always find films like this fascinating the way they map the contours of the secret history of the twentieth century (which in turn form the landscape of the twenty-first century)...for anyone interested in this kind of thing, the writings of Peter Lavenda, Peter Dale Scott and Webster Tarpley are essential.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to also watch the documentary on the late great American lawyer William Kunstler called 'Disturbing the Universe' as it covers similar grounds from the other end of the political spectrum.
