From day to day, this film tells the story of a difficult birth. That of democracy. The first in the Arab world. On January 14, 2011, the Tunisian street swept away Ben Ali and his 23-year reign.
An event with planetary repercussions, the detonator of the Arab Spring. Nine months after the fall of Ben Ali, Tunisia experienced the weekend of October 23 the first free elections in its history, its first democratic test with the election of the Constituent Assembly.
The Islamist party "Ennahdha" of Rached Ghannouchi, which seduces both the enemies of the dictatorship and those disappointed by the revolution, is declared the winner of the election of the constituent assembly on 23 October. The latest figures confirm the advance of the Islamists... The Constituent elected by the Tunisians must, first and foremost, choose the new president of the Republic who himself will form a new executive.

PROGRAMMER'S NOTE (Public Sénat TV)
Since the start of the revolts, Feriel Ben Mahmoud, director of Tunisian origin, has followed this democratic process and accompanied a few political parties, representative of the diversity of opinions, among the 100 parties that have emerged since the revolution, until the elections. This film dissects the Tunisian democratic momentum and apprehends the fundamental issues of this election (parity, secularism, place of religion...).
