The TVI Take
Gillo Pontecorvo's reconstruction of the Algerian National Liberation Front's campaign against French colonial rule. Shot in a documentary style so convincing it was used as training material by the Pentagon and various revolutionary movements.
Educational about colonialism, anti-colonial resistance, and the tactics of urban insurgency. One of the most politically important films ever made.
