(Original title: Indigènes)
Members’ Rating: 94% – our joint favourite film of the season, with After The Wedding
Rachid Bouchareb’s epic war movie highlights the important part Arab and North African troops played in the liberation of France, and their sorry treatment afterwards. It is an effective, thoughtful and stirring film, and an important account of institutionalised human warfare.
