Synopsis
About Regis Debray, intellectual and a committed man, half a century of recent history, tormented, sometimes violent. From the 1960s to the present day, from the Latin American maquis to the Goncourt Academy, from Che Guevara to François Mitterrand, from Edgar Morin to Julien Gracq, Régis Debray, co-author of this (auto)biography, crosses official history and his memory in the company of the characters who have marked him.

First Episode: Révolution.
A great dilemma characterizes the 1960s: reform or revolution. Régis Debray chooses the second option. The son of a good family moved to Cuba in 1965, at the age of 25, and got closer to Fidel Castro. He then joined the guerrillas set up by Che Guevara to try to export the Castro revolution. In 1967, arrested in Bolivia and sentenced to thirty years in prison, he was finally released after four years and returned to France in 1973.

Second Episode: République.
In 1981, Régis Debray became one of François Mitterrand's advisors. He ended up taking leave of politics in the early 1990s, tired of antechambers and competition. He then becomes the analyst of a France with an uncertain future, marked according to him by the desacralization of supreme functions, the invasion of the private sector and the abdication of the State in the face of money and lobbies.
