‎The Battle of Algiers‎

‎The Criterion Collection 1966. DVD Movie. Fine copy/fine. Three disc set two of which include various documentary features. The original film has been brilliantly restored. 121 minutes. Black & white. In French and Arabic with English subtitles. This remarkable film is of interest in so many ways. It concerns the uprising in the Algiers Casbah led by a small group of inspired rebels. Their antagonist a French colonel is just as inspired but in a different way. The main protagonist is Yacef Saadi one of the rebel leaders. It was he who conceived the idea of having young European-looking women place bombs in public cafés. Eventually he was captured and condemned to death but later pardoned and freed after Algeria achieved its independence from France. The real Yacef Saadi plays himself in this film after becoming its producer in 1966. However the story in the movie has been bowdlerised and is only partly true. The character of the sardonic Colonel Mathieu is fictional. It was based on Colonel Bigeard one of the Para commanders who won the Battle of Algiers twice but who helped lose the war. A more serious flaw though is that it was Yacef Saadi himself not a tortured informant who revealed the hiding place of Ali-la-Pointe. Still this film has been incredibly influential and retains its impact. The Criterion Collection‎

From Wikipedia: "The Foreign Policy Association formerly known as the League of Free Nations Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring the American public to learn more about the world. Founded in 1918 it serves as a catalyst for developing awareness understanding of and providing informed opinions on global issues. The Foreign Policy Association aims to spread global awareness and understanding of foreign policy issues.The Foreign Policy Association was founded in 1918 as the League of Free Nations Association. Under the chairmanship of journalist Paul Kellogg it was formed by 141 distinguished Americans to support President Woodrow Wilson's efforts to achieve a just peace including John Foster Dulles and Eleanor Roosevelt. The Association was reconstituted in 1923 as the Foreign Policy Association with a commitment to the careful study of all sides of international questions affecting the U.S. In the 1920s FPA initiated Saturday luncheon discussions on foreign policy in New York City. The luncheon discussions quickly grew very popular and in 1938 19 women formed FPA's "Off-the-Record" lecture series in order to learn even more about international affairs. In the 1940s the FPA pioneered international affairs radio discussions by broadcasting New York meetings and weekly talks on "The World Today" over the NBC network. Later as the discussions among citizens spread the FPA branches across the U.S. became forerunners of the independent World Affairs Councils founded in the 1950s. Meanwhile the FPA's publications Foreign Policy Reports 1925 51 Foreign Policy Bulletin 1920 61 and Headline Series1935 present became known and respected at the time for their clear and impartial analysis of foreign policy issues. In a democracy the Government functions with the consent of the whole people. The latter must be guided by the facts. The Foreign Policy Association is performing a high duty in facilitating the lucid presentation of the facts of world problems and their impact upon the United States. -Franklin D. Roosevelt 1943 The heart of the FPA's outreach effort the Great Decisions program was launched in 1954. The program has become the largest nonpartisan public education program on international affairs in the world. The FPA continued to undertake new educational challenges to improve the teaching of world affairs in the nation's schools in the 1960s when the forerunner of FPA's Citizen's Guide to U.S. Foreign Policy was published. The complexity and multiplicity of the foreign policy questions facing the U.S. today places a premium on intelligent understanding of the issues by the widest possible cross-section of citizens I am particularly impressed with the approach which the Foreign Policy Association has taken. -John F. Kennedy 1960 In the 1970s Great Decisions opinion ballots were tabulated nationally for the first time. Every year results of ballot tabulations are presented to the White House the departments of State and Defense Members of Congress and the nation's media. Today the preparation of innovative study materials and teachers' guides as well as workshops for teachers are among FPA top priorities. An updated version of the history of the Foreign Policy Association is presented in this video narrated by Tom Brokaw. It builds on the well-documented history of the Foreign Policy Association's service to the U.S. Public and the U.S. policymakers including updates on currents FPA programs and meetings."
