Jacques Vergès came in to prominence defending Algerian terrorist bomber Djamila Bouhired during the 50s. From there he tended to find a string of infamous and notorious clients to support. Ranging from Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie to the notorious international terrorist Carlos the Jackal. The documentary while examining Vergès and his sensational cases weaves an almost invisible line between the numerous terrorist organizations the world over. A brilliant film that views like a John le Carré novel except that everything in it is real!
