The Paris Massacre: Unveiling the Forgotten Truth

Description

Script Vidéo

On October 17th, 1961, Algerian demonstrators were thrown into the Seine — and France told the world only three people died. Paris police chief Maurice Papon imposed a curfew targeting only Algerians. Around forty thousand people marched peacefully to protest it. The police response was savage — demonstrators beaten on bridges, thrown alive into the Seine, shot in the streets. Historians now confirm at least forty-eight dead that night alone. Many place the true toll well over a hundred. But the official count held at three. Three. For nearly four decades, police, politicians, and media closed ranks and buried it. Investigations were opened only to be quietly buried. No accountability. No headlines. It wasn’t until 1999 — thirty-eight years later — that the Paris prosecutor’s office became the first official body to even use the word “massacre.” France had built a wall of silence around this night, and almost got away with it. Subscribe — the cover-up lasted longer than the massacre.
