Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Le 6 septembre 1948, en Martinique, dans un climat de grève générale, Guy de Fabrique, blanc créole, gérant d'une plantation sucrière de la commune de Basse-Pointe, est assassiné de trente-six coups de coutelas et retrouvé mort dans un champs de cannes. Après des semaines de chasse à l'homme, seize ouvriers agricoles noirs syndicalistes sont arrêtés. Ils seront maintenus en détention préventive pendant trois ans. En 1951 se tient leur procès, à Bordeaux, ancien port négrier. Bénéficiant de nombreux soutiens, les 16 de Basse-Pointe seront finalement acquittés mais le meurtre ne sera jamais élucidé. Soixante ans après, la réalisatrice martiniquaise Camille Mauduech s'emploie à reconstituer cette affaire qui résonne toujours dans la conscience martiniquaise, et le "premier procès du colonialisme français aux Antilles".
