Join the New York Young Communist League for our monthly film series!
One of the most influential political films in history, The Battle of Algiers, by Gillo Pontecorvo, vividly re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafés, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them.
All are welcome to join!
This event will be available over zoom and also screened at the CPUSA building in NYC. Please reach out to us by email or on telegram to let us know if you would like to attend in person.
