Contre-Pouvoirs plot

Spring 2014. The Algerian presidential elections are in full swing when documentary maker Malek Bensmaïl is allowed to tour the editorial rooms of the independent French-language daily El Watan for six weeks. He observes a microcosm that looks more and more like a pressure cooker as the hours go by. Under the pressure of the deadline, there is a feverish search for content and interpretation, discussions are being held about hot political issues at the cutting edge and there are also open doubts about the established order of Algeria.
