This is a hell of a doc. Fascinating

This is a hell of a doc. Fascinating history and real-life characters. Hollywood can't beat the convoluted strangeness of truth.

Someone has to defend them I suppose. Here

Someone has to defend them I suppose. Here is the tale of the man who defends the undefendable. A friend of Carlos the Jackal and Nazis etc. The question to be asked why anyone would seek to assist these individuals. While the film doesn't end up definitively answering those questions, it nonetheless gives us a portrait of a unique if not defendable individual.

Filmaço. Falando de França e terrorismo.... É um

Filmaço. Falando de França e terrorismo.... É um documentário sobre o advogado Jacques Vergès que defendeu, entre outros, grupos argelinos que lutaram pela independência e que foram processados pelo governo francês como terroristas, passando por Carlos, o Chacal, até criminosos nazistas. Vergès teve uma vida cinematográfica cheia de histórias de guerra, espionagem, assassinatos, política e tudo o mais. É um daqueles documentários espetaculares sobre um personagem complexo e que teve um papel importante em acontecimentos chaves do século 20. O que intriga no filme é tentar achar algum fio de coerência no que ele faz e pensa.
