The Battle of Algiers (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1966) depicts French colonized Algieria, shot on location in black and white. Its newsreel, documentary style revolves around the National Liberation Front (FLN), an Algerian guerrilla resistance fighting against the French in Algiers, the capital of French Algeria.
The film follows Ali La Pointe, a petty Algerian street thief who rises through the ranks of the FLN, ultimately becoming a respected leader within the resistance. Throughout the film, Ali is mirrored by Colonel Philippe Mathieu, the French general determined to outsmart the revolution.
While the French try to eliminate bigwigs of the FLN, they end up killing innocent Algierians, and n retaliation, the FLN begin targeting Eupoean cafes and store fronts.
In one scene, just as a member of the FLN places a bomb in a European cafe, a close up of an infant inside is shown. Moments later, the building explodes.
In America, we call that collateral damage.

Way better than those shitty mint tins they now sell at FYE and Newbury Comics. But here’s a Nintendo product you definitely should not eat: The Legend of Zelda Model Set. Currently [...]
(NOTE: This was a contribution to a feature that ran @NintendoLife about the 25th Anniversary of the NES. You should go read it.) The first video game I ever saw was Kung-Fu for the NES. My older sister’s friend down the street had just gotten the system, so she kindly escorted me down to their [...]
