What Is Death Squadrons: The French School About?
The premise of Death Squadrons: The French School without spoilers.
After the Battle of Algiers, France exported its counter‑insurgency expertise to Latin America and the United States in the 1960s. Over a year of investigation the filmmaker travelled to Argentina, Chile, Brazil, the US and France, using hidden‑camera work to record conversations and exclusive testimonies from figures such as General Aussaresses, former defence minister Pierre Messmer, Argentina’s ex‑junta leader Reynaldo Bignone, General Manuel Contreras and U.S. generals John Johns and Carl Bernard, exposing a hidden reality behind official human‑rights narratives.
