Overview

Dead the Long Night (Morte La Longue Nuit) is a documentary film composed entirely of archival imagery, narrated by Algerian writer, anthropologist, and linguist Mouloud Mammeri. Drawing on rare visual records, the film offers a reflective survey of the anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist liberation movements that swept the globe during the 1970s. Mammeri's authoritative narration transforms the archive into living testimony, situating individual struggles within a broader global awakening against colonial power — a film as much essay as documentary.
