Premier président de la Ve République, en exercice de 1958 à 1969, Charles de Gaulle a marqué la France. Homme d'État toujours en action, mais partagé entre ses certitudes et ses doutes, il fut parfois comparé à un monarque, mais a toujours placé la grandeur et l'indépendance de la France avant tout. Ce documentaire évoque la personnalité du général, homme cultivé, brillant et ayant une haute idée de sa fonction, et raconte les grands événements de son mandat, comme le putsch des généraux, la réconciliation franco-allemande ou mai 68, replacés dans le contexte d'une époque où le monde était en pleine mutation.

Franco on Trial is the new film by Dietmar Post and Lucía Palacios. After the success of Franco's Settlers, their first encounter with Franco's dictatorship, they are now setting their sights on one of the darkest chapters of European history: the presumed organized extermination that took place during the coup, the war, and the subsequent dictatorship led by Franco, as well as Argentina's current effort, by invoking the principle of universal jurisdiction, to prosecute Francoists accused of committing crimes against humanity. The film is also a sore reminder of an issue that still stands today: the clear-cut accountability held by Germany, Italy, and Portugal. The film accomplishes to give both sides a voice - those against whom the killing has been directed; and the side of the perpetrators.
