Intro- explaining both movies and what happened
A Brief Summary of The Battle of Algiers:
In October 1957, Ali la Pointe, a leader of the Algerian FLN , is trapped by the French in his house in the Casbah. The story then shifts to 3 years earlier when Ali first became involved in the fight for Algeria's independence. Ali had been a thief before this, and joined the guerrilla movement after he was released from prison. The FLN then carry out acts of “terrorism” (which really is just violent attempts to gain their freedom from the French) against the European community in Algiers, such as shooting policemen. The Governor attempts to weaken this FLN uprising by closing off the Casbah (where most of the FLN are in hiding) but that doesnt stop
In retaliation, an FLN leader sends three Arab women out of the Casbah dressed as Europeans to plant time bombs in 3 seperate popular locations, which in turn kills several Europeans and sends the French a message that the FLN will not give in easily and do in fact have strength. By 1957 the French bring in the 10th Paratroop Division headed by Colonel Mathieu. Mathieu uses methods of torture to force captured terrorists to give up the names of FLN leaders. When the FLN orders an 8-day general strike while the United Nations debates the whether to get involved in the crisis, Mathieu intensifies his efforts to capture group leaders. By the time the United Nations has decided not to intervene, Mathieu has killed all of the FLN leaders except Ali la Pointe. Soon Ali’s address is discovered, and he and three others, including a young boy, are trapped in his hide-out behind the wall of his bedroom and eventually killed by the French. For 3 years, up until 1960, everything goes quiet. Then one day, without any warning, rioting begins and thousands of Algerians tear through the streets
