René Vautier has just left us.
A filmmaker without concessions, against the current and often censored, he was a witness to the torments of his time.
Always at the forefront of social struggles, he has marked all his work in the fight against racism and injustice, especially through his work, with sharp eyes, on decolonization and the Algerian war.
His best-known film, Having Twenty Years in the Aures, was awarded the International Critics' Prize at Cannes in 1972.
I extend my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones.
