Film Recommendation No. 1 - Battle of Algiers

BE SURE TO LISTEN TO MY PODCAST AT BLOGTALKRADIO.COM, OR SUBSCRIBE VIA ITUNES.

I thought it worthwhile to start recommending Diasporic films that I consider required viewing for all. Here's the first of many. The Battle of Algiersreconstructs events that occurred during the Algerian war of independence from the French colonists, in the late 1950s.

It's difficult to start a revolution...
... even more difficult to sustain one...
... and still more difficult to win one.

One of my all-time favorite films... and certainly temporally apropos...
