The Battle of Algiers
Trailer
It is a film that embodies the fifties of the twentieth century, when things started to collapse in front of the Algerians through their struggle for independence from the French government. It seems that each side is resorting to the ever increasing brutality, and there is no violent action except for those who live with it.
