Description

Close to 40 years after the war of Algeria ended, in a factory workers' garden, in Tourcoing, a city from the North of France, French and Algerian men work on their piece of land. These men were the conscripts, National Liberation Front militants or "harkis" from a colonial war led by the French republic.
