Generations of the Algerian War
Synopsis
The Generations of the Algerian War project brings together members of the National Office for Veterans and Victims of War (ONACVG), which, since 2015 and under the scientific guidance of three historians specializing in the period – Raphaëlle Branche, Jean-Jacques Jordi, and Abderahmen Moumen – has been working alongside the French Ministry of Education to provide teachers with resources for teaching about the Algerian War. A diversity of perspectives is highlighted through the choice of speakers: FLN and OAS militants, a Pied-Noir (French settler in Algeria), the son of a Harkis (Algerian Muslim who fought for the French during the Algerian War), a Jewish woman from Algeria, and French conscripts, all contributing to the construction of a collective memory. The ravages of colonization, forced exile, the transmission of trauma… Each of the three sessions addresses a theme related to the speakers' life experiences and explores different facets of this war.

Biography is a documentary television series. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace. The A&E Network later re-ran it and has produced new episodes since 1987. The older version featured historical figures such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or long-dead entertainment figures such as Will Rogers or John Barrymore. The A&E series has placed the emphasis on such people as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II, and fictional characters like The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel.
