How Tunisia’s final monarch was deposed by its first president – an influence wrestle remembered on Tunisian Republic Day.
On the daybreak of Tunisian independence in 1957, there was a bitter energy wrestle between the nation’s monarch and its first president.
It was a “winner takes all” battle between Habib Bourguiba, chief of the Tunisian independence motion, and Lamine Bey, whose household had dominated the nation for greater than 250 years.
By witness accounts – together with frank testimony from 99-year-old Driss Guiga, the previous nationwide safety director and a Bourguiba loyalist, and contributions from a direct descendent of the royal household – this movie reveals how the monarch was deposed.
