J'ai vu tuer Ben Barka Page #3

---

I don't trust her an inch, that one.

Spare me the jealous fit.

Maybe I have my reasons.

There'll be all kinds of roles

in our story. Women's roles too.

Know who's producing it?

No one's getting rich with my ideas.

The producer picks the star.

And my star... is you!

The director needs to agree.

Why wouldn't he?

You think you're condemned

to bit parts? Maids, cooks,

pump attendants, waitresses...

You deserve better and I'll prove it.

What does Chtouki do?

Chtouki is just money.

Money I'll make with him

and stake on you.

- Will it shoot in Morocco?

- All over. It's an international film.

Time to practice.

The future's at our door. Seize it now.

"May her neighbours band together... "

"May her neighbours band together

to undermine her weak foundations.

"And should Italy not suffice,

may East and West unite against her.

"May a hundred peoples of all the world

cross land and sea to destroy her. "

You're never serious.

Ten minutes is your limit.

Ten minutes?

Watch out for trouble today.

Dubail...

Stay with us. Keep an eye open too.

Jacques Donadieu

was not only a soldier

and an officer

in the noblest sense

in other words

an officer in the French' army...

Aren't you sick of all this praise

for our dead and our killers?

How do you put up with it?

You're too fond of that sh*t -

order, hierarchy, honours.

We can't all be cowboys.

Cowboys?

I don't give a toss about it.

The Liberation. What a joke!

It wasn't a game, that's true.

You're right, it was war.

To take your mind off praise...

A passport in my name.

I'd nearly given up hoping.

You had to go high to get this.

After all my years inside...

I can really work now.

No more secret trips.

Business can pick up. Seriously.

You know what?

My name is Chtouki.

Georges Boucheseiche sent me.

Chtouki... Of course.

Mr Boucheseiche spoke about you.

You're close?

Yes, we work in different fields

him in hotels, me in the press,

but our interests converge.

You're interested in movies.

As a producer.

As a producer? Yes, of course.

I've come to ask you to produce a film.

Tell me all about it.

It's a historical film of interest

to recently independent countries.

A film with archive footage

and interviews.

A documentary?

Yes, a documentary.

On decolonization.

Decolonization! A crucial subject.

Very topical.

News programmes are a big hit on TV.

These new countries interest people.

But as for the financing...

We provide the financing.

Let's move on

to the practical details, then.

One of our compatriots

will be your historical adviser.

A Moroccan adviser.

Why not, if he knows the subject?

I'm a professional, see.

Efficiency matters.
