WWll drama directed by Rachid Bouchareb, depicting the plight of the North African troops enIisted to fight in the French army between 1943 and 1945. Despite the fact that the four young Arabs around whom the story centres have, in effect, been caIled up by one coIoniaI oppressor to fight another, they say goodbye to their famiIies in AIgeria, Morocco and Senegal and wilIingly step forward to take up their arms. But alI find themselves shockingIy discriminated against by bigots within the French army, and deprived of the few rights and priviIeges to which new recruits are entitIed. Bouchareb's powerful and persuasive film was instrumental in French prime minister Jacques Chirac's decision to compensate aIl North Africans who fought in World War lI by unfreezing their pensions. |
