Description
125 min. "The Battle of Algiers" was the first feature film produced in Algeria by Algerians (although the director and much of the film's crew were Italian). One of the most influential political films in history, Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (La bataille d'Alger) vividly recreates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s.
