Terror's Advocate (French: L'Avocat de la terreur) is a 2007 French feature documentary film directed by Barbet Schroeder. It is a portrait of controversial lawyer Jacques Vergès, as he used his rights of attorney to assist terrorist cells in the context of the decolonization wars of the 1960s and of Middle East state-sponsored terrorism in the following decades.[1]
The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and won the César Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 33rd César Awards.

Synopsis[edit]
After a prologue showing Vergès downplaying Khmer Rouge atrocities and emphasizing the U.S. role in the Cambodian genocide, the film flashes back to his postwar involvement as an anticolonial activist and lawyer for the National Liberation Front (FLN) of Algeria, and depicts in particular his fight for Djamila Bouhired's liberation. It highlights the unofficial role of lawyers as liaison agents between prisoners in the Algerian revolution and Vergès' original technique of defense, called 'rupture strategy,' in which the lawyer accuses the prosecution of the same offense as the defendant.[2] It then chronicles Vergès' efforts to act in favor of the Palestinian fedayeen.

The second part tries to elucidate what Vergès did during his 'missing years'. While aknowledging that Vergès was eager to take part in further revolutionary efforts in the Third World, the director's inquiry dismisses the usual claims that he spent these years in Pol Pot's Kampuchea and implies that he moved back and forth between Paris and destinations abroad, hiding from creditors and looking for money. It reveals that just before he went into hiding, he was paid amidst the Congo Crisis to bring out Moise Tshombe from prison and that he vanished without having done so. It also heavily suggests that he worked behind the lines for Wadie Haddad's branch of the PFLP.
The last part is dedicated to the role Vergès played in the 1980s as an accomplice of Carlos the Jackal and Johannes Weinrich in Eastern Europe, as well as an intermediary in negotiations between France and Iranian-backed terrorists. It also features the famous Klaus Barbie trial, during which Vergès acted as Barbie's lawyer and notably tried to discredit France in its charging of Barbie by equating the Nazi occupation of France with the past French rule in Algeria. The film closes in the early 1990s with Carlos being abducted by the French intelligence and with the release of Stasi files containing evidence of Vergès' cloak-and-dagger attitude in the past decade, which put an end to his activities.
The film uses archival footage, stills, and interviews with Vergès himself, with people involved in his life and of authors and agents who have investigated it. One key point of the documentary is the revelation of the link between Vergès and François Genoud, a Swiss Nazi who bankrolled many anti-Western initiatives in the second part of the 20th century, be they right-wing, left-wing, secular or Islamic-inspired, including Algerian and Palestinian nationalists as well as far-right and far-left European militants. It shows that Vergès and Genoud were friends from the 1960s to the 1990s and that Vergès defended in court a number of people whose defense was funded by Genoud, including the FLN, Carlos, Barbie, Bruno Bréguet and Magdalena Kopp.
