WAR WITHOUT IMAGES - ALGERIA, I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW

WAR WITHOUT IMAGES is the return of photographer Michael von Graffenried to Algeria, a country which, between 1991 and 2000, he visited incognito, taking pictures of people with a hidden camera. During that time before 9/11, Algeria was shaken by a civil war between the government and islamic extremists in which about 200,000 people lost their lives. In a land where Islamic terrorists executed more than sixty journalists and photographers in 1993 and 94. The result is a film that holds a mirror to contemporary Algeria: a crossed, contradictory, complex place where laughter and tears intermingle. It is a country that wants both to live and to forget its tragedy and which is still looking for its identity, somewhere between East and West.

A film by Mohammed Soudani and Michael von Graffenried

the algerian government used mercenary to slaughter the people( the people how voted in favor of FIS) to terrorize the poor people, at that time people don't have camera mobile phones or digital cameras to show what realy happened.

we have seen this in tunisia, egypt, libya and now in syria, all our leaders use the term terrorist, but the REAL terrorist is them.

The Agerians are depressed and tired and sick of these leaders who cares only about Themselves and their Families.
