The Battle Of Algiers
The Scene of Battle: Algerian War of Independence 1954-1962 between the National Liberation Front and French paramilitary.
Behind Enemy Lines: Whether you consider the Algerian terrorists or the colonial French to be the so called enemy, you are allowed to see both sides. Both commit atrocities and there are no innocents.
Trivia: The film was banned for many years in France because, despite being fairly balanced in its portrayal of the conflict, it was heavily subsidised by the Algerian Government.
