Having represented Algeria in the 2007 Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, Days of Glory tells the little known story of the “Indigènes,” the African colonial recruits whose batallions played a key role in the 1944-1945 liberation of France and Italy. While fighting for the freedom of a “homeland” they had never seen, these soldiers faced tremendous racism in the military and in French society, forcing them to struggle for equality of treatment at every turn.  Days of Glory features moving performances of a landmark screenplay.
