Happy the Martyr

2013 · 64 min

A posthumous profile of a tireless human rights defender who was cowardly assassinated: Chokri Belaid, the late left-wing leader of the opposition popular front party, whose spilled blood led Tunisian people at the grass roots, to once again challenge violence and tyranny. Amid tears and smiles, the testimonials of parents, friends, comrades and political opponents intersect to describe the birth of a new myth: a "Che" with a Berber resonance.
