Albert Memmi, born in 1920 in Tunis, is considered a precursor of the French-speaking world. From his first novel La statue de sel, prefaced by Albert Camus, to his most famous portraits, such as the Portrait du colonisé presented by Jean-Paul Sartre, his work is prolific: stories, essays, poetry, interviews. From what he calls his triple roots: Jewish, Tunisian and French, Albert Memmi has made an alloy, which does not exclude questioning. Each book is a stage in the same itinerary. Some witnesses such as Farid Boughedir, Jean La couture, Jean-Marie Bourzeix express themselves on facets of his work and personality. He is a committed writer, but in an individual way, resistant to chapels and dogmas. This freedom of thought and tone is reflected in the interviews filmed in Paris, which recount the journey and reflections of this immobile nomad who says of himself: "I decided to be a humanist, secular and rationalist."
