FANON

Frantz Fanon, a French psychiatrist originally from Martinique, has just been appointed head of department at the psychiatric hospital in Blida, Algeria. His methods stand in stark contrast to those of other doctors in the context of colonization. A biopic set in the heart of the Algerian War, where a battle is waged in the name of Humanity
Translated into English from Fanon – Film 2024 – AlloCiné  

• “…Filled with mounting tension and moral dilemmas, Fanon builds into a compelling glimpse into the moments that shaped Fanon’s life.”

• “Placed in tandem with universally understandable instances of injustice, the harsh mistreatment of patients echoes the colonial struggle outside the hospital walls. And so, despite its obvious flaws, it must be well noted that Fanon stands out in how it brings the writer’s work and life to the screen in a way that is highly entertaining and well-positioned for commercial audiences.  This is Barny’s truest success: maybe Frantz Fanon will finally have the chance to become a name known not only by scholars, activists, and those interested in Pan-Africanism and decolonial thinking.”
