The Battle of Algiers
Description: Michelle Trachtenberg will take viewers through dozens of tragic marriages and introduce spouses who killed, their victims and murder scenes. A film commissioned by the Algerian government that shows the Algerian revolution from both sides. The French foreign legion has left Vietnam in defeat and has something to prove. The Algerians are seeking independence. The two clash. The torture used by the French is contrasted with the Algerian's use of bombs in soda shops. A look at war as a nasty thing that harms and sullies everyone who participates in it.
