Indigenes

The tale of a 1943 WW II French Algerian Unit facing discrimination by its European counterparts due to prejudice and ignorance. The French armed forces are preparing to land troops in Europe to win back their homeland from the Axis Powers, but they cannot accomplish their task without recruiting men from their African colonies. The Africans themselves start their long journey full of hope and anticipation, but as they get closer to their goal they realize that their enemy is not necessarily the Germans.

  • "Days of glory tells the story of the unsung heroes of the French World War II defensive. Despite never having set foot on French soil before, Said, Abdelkader, Messauod and Yassir enlisted in the army along with 130,000 other 'indigenous' soldiers to fight for their imperial masters. But instead of praise and gratitude for their selfless aid, the Algerian soldiers faced a double attack. On one side, their Axis enemies, and on the other, the racist, ignorance of their commanding officers."
  • "The true story of four men from North Africa that join the French Army during World War II to fight against the Nazis and French discrimination."
  • "1943. Abdelkader, Saïd, Messaoud et Yassin pur non avendo mai messo piede in Francia, si arruolano nell'esercito francese per liberare la "patria" dai nazisti invasori. Attraverseranno l'Europa fino a ritrovarsi da soli a difendere un villaggio contro un intero battaglione tedesco (www.movieplayer.it)."
  • "Segunda guerra mundial. Cuatro argelinos musulmanes se presentan voluntarios al ejército francés. Esta es su historia a través de los campos de batalla de África y Europa, donde además de a los nazis, deberán enfrentarse a la intolerancia y al racismo de sus compañeros, sus superiores y sus supuesto aliados."
  • "Tells the story of four Algerian men who enlist in the French army during World War II to fight Nazi oppression only to encounter prejudice from the native French-born soldiers."
  • "They had never stepped foot on French soil but because France was at war, Said, Abdelkader, Messaoud and Yassir enlisted enlisted in the French Army, along with 130,000 other "indigenous soldiers", to liberate the "fatherland" from the Nazi enemy. These heros that history forgot won battles in Italy, Provence and the Vosges before finding themselves alone to defend an Alsatian village against a German battalion."
  • ""Telling the true story of a band of World War II soldiers who heroically fought their way across Europe while battling discrimination within their own ranks, the film was hailed for its 'eloquent performances and potent action sequences' (Jan Stuart, Newsday). The Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Turan called it 'a North African Saving Private Ryan, a taut, involving film that delivers all the things we look for in war movies'."--Container."

  • "Tells the story of four Algerian men who enlist in the French army during World War Two to fight Nazi oppression only to encounter prejudice from the native French-born soldiers."
  • "1943. Although they have never set foot on French soil, four young Algerian soldiers feel it is their duty to enlist along with 130,000 other 'indigenous troops'. Their noble aim is to fight for the liberation of their 'fatherland' from the Nazi enemy ravaging Europe and the world. The epic journey these forgotten heroes embark upon shows us the injustices they faced in the time of war, the fearless courage they displayed in the face of brutal conflict and the discrimination they encountered from the nation they helped defend". So powerful is the impact of Days of Glory (Indig nes), that when it was released in France in September 2006, the French government were forced to challenges the discrimination between the war veteran's pensions received by the colonial troops and those received by French nationals. French president Jacques Chirac was so moved by the film he immediately raised the pensions of thousands of veteran soldiers from former French colonies to the same level as their."

  • "Fiction. Drame de guerre. En 1943, l'armée française, repliée et affaiblie par l'Occupation, recrute dans les colonies africaines de jeunes soldats afin d'engager avec eux le combat de la dernière chance contre les Allemands. Embourbés dans la misère, Saïd, Messaoud, Yassir et Abdelkader s'enrôlent dans l'espoir d'améliorer leur condition et de fouler pour la première fois le sol de la mère patrie. Or, à leur arrivée en Italie, où s'amorce le long périple qui les conduira jusqu'en Alsace, les jeunes soldats mal préparés constatent que la misère les suit, et qu'aux yeux des Français ils demeurent des indigènes. Ainsi, Abdelkader, le seul du lot à savoir lire et écrire, passe de l'espoir au désespoir en voyant son rêve d'être promu sergent compromis par le favoritisme de l'état-major à l'endroit des pieds-noirs. Dans les rangs, la révolte gronde.--Médiafilm."
