Aliker is a new martinican movie of the film maker Guy Deslaurier and the scenarist is the famous martinican writer Chamoiseau.
The story is a true story of a communist journalist fighting the power of plantation and factory owners in the 30's. André Aliker disappeared and his body was found on a beach. The judge declared a suicide - the man has his hands tighted in the back and his face beaten...
I remember last month Aliker's case file in the national archives in Martinique to be on an open access shelf... this story is a very traumatic one for the island and stay very alive since the brother of André Aliker is still alive and the best friend of Aimé Césaire. At more than 100 years is still very political and vocal and give a very impressive lesson of anticolonial resistance to the french president who came for the burial of Aimé Césaire in April 2008... all his clothes are white in souvenir of his murdered brother...
why the past seems so close ?
Un film de Guy Deslaurier d'après un scénario de P. Chamoiseau.
En 1933, André Aliker, gérant du « Justice » , le journal du Parti communiste martiniquais, devine (ressent) que la petite feuille militante-communiste à laquelle il participe peut devenir une vraie force face à la toute-puissance des usiniers et planteurs. Le journaliste révélera qu'un puissant béké de la famille Aubery, qu'il nomme le « Dragon » est impliqué dans une affaire de fraude. Ces révélations vont lui coûter la vie le 11 janvier 1934. Son corps sans vie - ligoté fermement ?- sera rejeté sur la plage, le lendemain, le 12 janvier.
