True Chronicles of the Blida Joinville Psychiatric Hospital in the Last Century, when Dr Frantz Fanon Was Head of the Fifth Ward between 1953 and 1956

Doctor Frantz Fanon arrives at the Blida-Joinville hospital in Algeria in 1953. His office becomes a space where colonial psychiatry confronts basic humanity. The patients are not mere diagnoses, but people fractured by the system. Fanon discards European methods, listening to stories preserved in case notes. Each chronicle is a quiet rebellion against violence disguised as treatment. The film reconstructs three years of the doctor's work, where he perceived in madness a reflection of political oppression. This is not simple historical reenactment, but an inquiry into the very possibility of healing in a world built on inequality. Through archives and reconstructions, the viewer witnesses the birth of ideas that reshaped post-colonial thought.
