Description

French drama based on the book written by Saadi Yacef about his experiences during the Algerian War of Independence. A reconstruction of events follows the people of Algiers fighting for their independence from the French government, with a flashback from Ali La Pointe (Brahim Haggiag) which shows him joining and becoming a leading member of the Algerian Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN) up until his eventual capture in 1957. Both sides escalate their brutality and violence, while children shoot soldiers, women conceal bombs in restaurants and French soldiers take extreme measures to contain the rebels.

Endlich!

This customer review refers to a alternative version.

Einer der wichtigsten Filme überhaupt. Fesselndes Anschauungsmaterial zu diversen brandheissen weltpolitischen Themen. Hätten mehr Politiker diesen Film gesehen, wären wir heute vielleicht einen Schritt weniger weit am Abgrund. Unverzichtbar.
