Psychiatrist and revolutionary during the Algerian War Ardan defender of freedom
This war, this explosion of violence, is for Him only a logical consequence of the colonial system.
For him, this is proof that decolonization is only an incomplete stage.
Independence is not enough for liberation.

For when you domesticate a member of our own species, you reduce his output, and
however little you may give him, a farmyard man finishes by costing more than he brings
in. For this reason the settlers are obliged to stop the breaking-in halfway; the result,
neither man nor animal, is the native. Beaten, undernourished, ill, terrified -but only up to
a certain point--he has, whether he's black, yellow, or white, always the same traits of
character: he's a sly-boots, a lazybones, and a thief, who lives on nothing, and who
understands only violence.

In France while completing his residency, Fanon wrote and published his first book, Black Skin, White
Masks (1952), an analysis of the negative psychological effects of colonial subjugation upon black people. Originally, the manuscript was the doctoral dissertation, submitted at Lyon, entitled "Essay on the Disalienation of the Black", which was a response to the racism that Fanon experienced while studying psychiatry and medicine at university in Lyon; the rejection of the dissertation prompted Fanon to publish it as a book. For his doctor of philosophy degree, he submitted another dissertation of narrower scope and different subject. Left-wing philosopher Francis Jeanson, leader of the pro-Algerian independence Jeanson network, read Fanon's manuscript and as a senior book editor at Éditions du Seuil in Paris, gave the book its new title and wrote its epilogue.[27]
After receiving Fanon's manuscript at Seuil, Jeanson invited him to an editorial meeting. Amid Jeanson's praise of the book, Fanon exclaimed: "Not bad for a nigger, is it?" Insulted, Jeanson dismissed Fanon from his office. Later, Jeanson learned that his response had earned him the writer's lifelong respect, and Fanon acceded to Jeanson's suggestion that the book be entitled Black Skin, White Masks.[2

In 1953, Dr. Frantz Fanon from Martinique takes up his position as head doctor at a psychiatric clinic in Blida,
Algeria. Racist colonial psychiatry dominates everyday life in the clinic. The French are housed separately from the Muslims, and the conditions in the Muslim unit are shocking: patients are restrained and tranquilised against their will. Fanon introduces a new approach, which includes group discussions and greater responsibilities for the nursing staff. He initiates a patient newspaper, a café, the site for a football pitch, and helps restore the mosque. He increasingly supports the clandestine Algerian resistance movement. This feature film by Abdenour Zahzah was made in Blida, and the episodes are given a charge by the committed performance of Alexandre Desane in the title role, and by the protagonists involved, including Fanon’s son Olivier, who plays a friend of his father’s. The project is based on conversations with those there at the time and the comprehensive research carried out for the documentary Frantz Fanon, mémoire d’asile (2002, Abdenour Zahzah, Bachir Ridouh), which is developed further here by means of fiction.
