Days of Glory
Directed by: Rachid Bouchareb
IFC
A great war movie. Based on a true story, it features four North African men fighting to free France from the Nazis in WWII. Despite their courage and conviction, they suffer discrimination, echoed through the decades. A dark companion-piece to Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan, and nearly as powerful.
