Juillet 1962, l’Algérie est indépendante. Ils sont des millions à travers tout le pays à fêter la naissance d’une nation et la fin de 130 années de présence française. Un million d’autres, européens, appelés les « pieds-noirs », nés en Algérie, enracinés depuis des générations quittent le pays dans un dramatique exode. «
