The role of the public intellectual in society, free press, and revolutionary politics has long vexed the great thinkers of France, from Voltaire and Rousseau to Camus and de Beauvoir. In this episode of his series On vous parle de Paris, Chris Marker limns the fragile line between leftist journalism and radical activism, creating a compelling portrait of François Maspero, the controversial reporter and publisher of Fritz Fanon’s censored The Wretched of the Earth, the writings of Che Guevara, and other indictments of colonialism and Western democracy.
