Synopsis:
The Battle Of Algiers authentically recreates the life-and-death struggle that took place in Algiers from 1954 to 1957, when the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) began a guerrilla war against the French, using terrorism. The French sent paratroopers, which led to a regrettable catalogue of atrocities being committed by both sides. Unique, award-winning, enthralling entertainment, The Battle Of Algiers is even more relevant in today's global political climate than ever before.
