Description
Set in 1943 during World War II, director/co-writer Rachid Bouchareb tells the tale of a group of North African soldiers who join the French in their fight against the Nazis. Although they passionately battle to defend the "fatherland," a place they've never been, the soldiers face inequality and daily humiliation within the French army. These heroes that history forgot won battles throughout Europe before finding themselves alone to defend a small village against a German battalion. Starring Sami Bouajila, Jamel Debbouze, Roschdy Zem and Samy Nacéri. Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.
