'''''Diego l'interdite''''' is a [[Mauritius|Mauritian]] 2002 documentary film directed by [[David Constantin]].
== Synopsis == This documentary tells of how the [[Chagossians]] were torn from their islands in the northern [[Indian Ocean]]. In 1965, the Colonial British authorities declared the isle separate from Mauritius in exchange of its independence. Then, the United States rented [[Diego Garcia]], the largest of the isles, to install a military base and the population was sent to Mauritius. The Chagossians have spent the past 36 years living in extreme poverty in Mauritius, dreaming of one day going home.
