By delving into a nuanced examination of the war's portrayal in film, The Franco-Algerian War through a Twenty-First Century Lens establishes an international dialogue that both condemns and absolves previous generations. Through collaborative ventures between Algerian and French production teams, such as Hors-la-loi (Outside the Law, directed by Rachid Bouchareb, 2010) and Loubia Hamra (Bloody Beans, directed by Narimane Mari, 2013), citizens strive to uncover a shared history and its enduring impact. Nicole Beth Wallenbrock employs cinematic discourse to shed fresh light on various subjects, including the media's exposure of torture and atomic bomb tests, the role of immigration in shaping the war's significance, and the intricate interplay between intertwined film cultures. The first chapter provides a comprehensive summary of the Franco-Algerian War in 20th-century cinema, thereby grounding subsequent inquiries into Algeria's moudjahid (freedom-fighter) films and the French new waves' perceived disinterest in the conflict. This book serves as an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to comprehend the role of cinema in re-evaluating war and reconstructing international memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 344g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 155 x 233 x 18 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350246805                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr. Nicole BethWallenbrock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094409146618,"sku":"9781350246805","price":35.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/ce8d0dc36f3660ccf6d24e49f030b75f.jpg?v=1632367625","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/franco-algerian-war-through-a-twenty-first-century-lens-film-and-history","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
