Saida… On revient! is one of numerous journeys to Algeria that have occurred in the past 50 years.
While many buildings in the images were in ruins, the pieds-noirs did not view the present and experienced a return to somewhere other than what was filmed. The amateur film provides a return to Algeria for the pieds-noirs who could not physically make the journey. During their meeting, the Amicale de Saida viewed the film Saida… On revient! sur les pas de notre enfance, which chronicles the return voyage of members of the community and their encounters with the places of their past. In commemoration of the 45th year of their exile, 500 pieds-noirs and their families gathered in Toulouse, France in May 2007.
