Consisting of reports shot in Senegal and Burkina Faso and archival documents, this film offers a new approach to history through in particular the testimonies of the surviving veterans of the 200,000 soldiers raised in West Africa for the Great War. Precious historical documents, often unpublished, such as the boarding of troops in Dakar, the crossing to France, life in the trenches.
