Abstract

Winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, this Algerian film, directed by Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina, shows how fighting against authoritarianism and fascism during World War II influenced the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62). A young peasant migrates from his drought-stricken village, only to be drafted by the French Army to fight in World War II. When he returns home, he finds that colonial rule has become more limiting and controlling. He joins in the revolt, with his son soon following in his footsteps.
