Days of Glory

Rachid Bouchareb's powerful pedagogical film chronicles the journey of four North African soldiers who join the French army to help liberate France from Nazi occupation during World War II, re-creating a chapter largely ignored by history. The film -- which drew an Oscar nod for Best Foreign Language Film and won a 2006 Cannes Film Festival award for its ensemble cast -- pays overdue tribute to the heroism of these forgotten troops.
