Algerian youth rise up for democracy and freedom against Bouteflika's regime

Every week since February 2019, millions of Algerian people are walking against the Algerian authorities. An unprecedented movement which has shaken a nation that didn’t believe in itself anymore. This documentary puts the light on how five young Algerians fight for their freedom. By telling us about their fight, they took insane risks in order to told their stories, to told us about their country. Despite the repressive measures against the hirak movement, the authoritative and military system that rules Algeria since its independence, has not consumed yet this popular and pacific movement.

Through the testimonies of young Algerians, this excerpt shows the aspiration for freedom and life of the Algerian youth. They protest against the bedridden president Abdelaziz Bouteflika and his aging regime that has lasted for more than 20 years. These young Algerians have only known Bouteflika and his corrupt system, but his willingness to seek a new term is the last straw.This has led to mass demonstrations in the streets throughout Algeria to depose Bouteflika and his military regime, in the hope of establishing a new Republic respectful of individual and collective freedoms. An uprising of unprecedented scope, called the hirak. Together, they want to write a new history for Algeria, free of the taboos, conservatism and patriarchy that corset the country.
