Antilles. Colony of Martinique, in the 30s. A simple communist activist, André Aliker, despite the frightened opposition of his relatives, will take the direction of the printed sheet that his party shows, worth it. By an extraordinary intuition, Aliker will guess the force of impact that this means of expression could reach, and he will very quickly transform the small militant leaflet, "Justice", into a real journal, applying methods of investigation and a worthy ethics. of the modern press. In this colonial universe, hierarchical and closed, subject to the omnipotence of millers and planters, this new journalism will have the effect of a cyclone. Aliker will directly attack the most powerful of the manufacturers: The Dragon. The latter has the reputation of destroying everything that is against his interests. But André Aliker, confronting his own fear, defying his own death, with just the idea that he has journalism, will go to the end of his intransigent concern for information and truth. Freedom too.
