Description

Following the Algerian war for independence and the defeat of France in 1962, Algiers became the liberation capital of the Third World.

Here, Elaine Mokhtefi, who as a young American woman had become involved in the struggle and worked with leaders of the Algerian Revolution, including Frantz Fanon, found a home.

As a journalist and translator, she lived among guerrillas, revolutionaries, exiles and visionaries and was even present in the making of the groundbreaking film The Battle of Algiers.

Mokhtefi crossed paths with some of the era's brightest stars: Stokely Carmichael, Timothy Leary, Ahmed Ben Bella, Jomo Kenyatta and Eldridge Cleaver.

She was instrumental in the establishment of the International Section of the Black Panther Party in Algiers and was close at hand as the group became involved in intrigue, murder and international hijackings.

She traveled for and with the Panthers and organised Cleaver's clandestine departure for France.

Algiers, Third World Capital is an unforgettable story of an era of passion and promise.
