For the first time ever, this film reveals the direct involvement of France in the history of Latin American dictatorships in the 70's. We learn how the French army provided training in counter-insurgency, torture and various "dirty" warfare techniques based on its experience in colonial wars from key witnesses and participants in these programmes.The film includes archival documents and exclusive interviews with former Defence Minister Pierre Messmer, top French, Chilean, Argentinian and US officers who expose a secret collaboration between Valéry Giscard d'Estaing's government and the regimes of Videla and Pinochet.
