[Abdelmoubine Amar Henni]

Dear All,

here is the schedule for this week:

Tuesday 31 March, 21:00 SISSA  room D



Indigènes (Algeria/Morocco 2006)


Director: Rachid Bouchareb
Language: Arabic \ French (with English subtitles)
Runtime: 128 min

Synopsis:


Algeria, 1943, through Italy and France, to Alsace in early 1945, with  
a coda years later. Arabs volunteer to fight Nazis to liberate the  
French motherland. We follow Saïd, dirt poor, an orderly for a  
grizzled sergeant, Martinez, a pied noir with some willingness to  
speak up for his Arab troops; Messaoud, a crack shot, who in Province  
falls in love with a French woman who loves him back; and Abdelkader,  
a corporal, a budding intellectual with a keen sense of injustice. The  
men fight with courage against a backdrop of small and large  
indignities: French soldiers get better food, time for leave, and  
promotions. Is the promise of liberty, equality, and fraternity hollow?




see you


Amar
