WORTH CONSUMING!
I think that the subject of this film is a noteworthy one, and that it’s important for the public to be aware of Jacques Verges’s work and his involvement with the international network of reputed terrorists.
I think that the film will benefit from additional editing, though. Too much of it consists of “talking heads” telling stories from their past. I wish the director had shaped the narrative into themes and expressed points of view.
As a result of seeing the film, though, I’ll read about the battle of Algiers, Carlos the Jackal and the terrorist incidents of the ‘70s.
Those Cinephiles who saw the film were reminded of Syriana and mob lawyer Bruce Cutler.

Have you seen the film, The Battle of Algiers ? It provides a look inside what was happening at that turbulent time.

Have you seen the film, The Battle of Algiers ?
I haven’t. TA employs clips from it in order to illustrate the subject’s involvement in that conflict.
