"Jean Sénac, Le Forgeron Du Soleil" is a documentary portrait by Ali Akika on Jean Sénac, a French-speaking Algerian poet, born in Béni-Saf in Oranie (Algeria) on November 29, 1926 and assassinated in Algiers on August 30, 1973. In 1955 he joined the cause of Algerian independence. "Any writer who has definitively opted for the Algerian nation is an Algerian writer," wrote Jean Sénac.
By ending the life of Jean Sénac on August 30, 1973 in Algiers, his assassins believed they would silence him forever. They were wrong since his voice is a little louder every day. Witnesses to these craze: the publication of the complete works of this great poet, the countless conferences and radio broadcasts devoted to him and finally the production of films such as "Jean Sénac, Le Forgeron Du Soleil". The moving and overwhelming testimonies of those who knew him, the unpublished film archives, the generous voice of the poet on the radio, the discovery of his travels in the territories of poetry and politics make this film a precious document on the life of Jean Sénac.
