Movie Description
La battaglia di Algeri
(1966)Overview
Paratrooper commander Colonel Mathieu, a former French Resistance fighter during World War II, is sent to Algeria to reinforce efforts to squelch the uprisings of the Algerian War.

As each side resorts to ever-increasing brutality, no violent act is too unthinkable.
