Early 1900s, in the shadow of the Great War in Europe, a country governed by the Indigenous Code witnessed the brewing of the last Kanak revolt, which would shake the Koné and Hienghène regions in 1917 and spread panic across the land. Conspiracies, betrayals, manhunts, massacres, and disproportionate repression—this little-known and hidden history of the last Kanak uprising reveals a whirlwind that crystallized all the remnants of colonization.

From the story of Feillet’s settlers to the Kanak chiefs fighting for their freedom, and an administration blind to a rebellion that surpassed them, The Last Revolt is a docu-fiction that sheds light on a deep chasm in New Caledonia’s colonial history.
