Nearly forty-five years after the Evian Accords, filmmakers are looking back to the efforts of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) and the events of the country’s long-fought war of independence. As in Vietnam, an act of war was never officially declared, which made it easy for many in France to forget its tragic consequences. Several of the films incorporate themes of accountability and reconciliation and attempt to give voice to many of the disenfranchised who gave their lives in this struggle. This series brings together three classic works produced in the wake of the conflict and three recent films which pose new questions about how the history of this war will be considered.
