La Bataille d'Alger
January 11, 2007
52m
Overview
What remains of the Battle of Algiers in collective memory? A military victory over the FLN. But also an immense political and moral defeat which sealed the fate of French Algeria. A defeat of honor and ethics which reveals the practice of torture by the French army. Even today, the wounds are far from healed. But we can try to honestly tell the epic story of the Battle of Algiers, with its heroes and its traitors, its friendships and its hatreds, its contractions between humanism and barbarism.
