Un simple fait divers, is a 1997 Moroccan movie, directed by Hakim Noury, and starring Rachid El Ouali, Hamid Zoughi, Hammadi Ammor. with a runtime of 90 minutes.
Un Simple Fait Divers (A Simple Fact) is an Algerian drama narrated through the reflective memory of Omar, an aging journalist who revisits the story of Salim — a bold 35-year-old journalist who dared to investigate a senior corrupt state official in the 1970s. Omar understood from the start that this was a lost battle, but Salim was driven by professional duty and a fierce contempt for those who place themselves above the law. The film builds toward its tragic, inevitable conclusion: the newspapers announce Salim's death, officially recorded as a mugging by a petty burglar — a simple fact, the authorities call it. A pointed indictment of press freedom and institutional impunity.
