This documentary by director Claire Billet and historian Christophe Lafaye details the massive and systematic use of chemical weapons during the Algerian War. Algerian fighters and civilians, sheltering in caves, were gassed by "special weapons sections" of the French army.

The method is reminiscent of the "enfumades" used by the French expeditionary force during the conquest of Algeria in the 19th century.
