Yasmina & Mohammed

an author caught within the storm of Algerian history - A film by Régine Abadia

 

Yasmina Khadra’s epic story is far from ordinary. This best-selling author whose early novels are set during the Algerian civil war in the 1990s is a former Algerian army officer, Mohammed Moulessehoul. He fought against the rise of Islamic fundamentalism that plunged his country into a bloodbath. He spent his sleepless nights writing novels published under a pseudo coined from his wife’s first names. Shot as a road movie between Algeria and France, this documentary takes us on a journey through the works of Yasmina Khadra, his appealing personality and his astonishing background, tightly linked to the history of Algeria since Independence.
