At the beginning of the century, the Algerian film industry went through a premature phase due to the political status of the country. Later, the highly controversial war between\u00a0Algeria<\/a>\u00a0and its former colonial power,\u00a0France<\/a>, fought from the mid-1950s until the granting of independence in 1962 sparked a remarkable increase in the movie productions at that time while the relationship between the two nations remains, to this day, the major theme of most films coming from North\u00a0Africa<\/a>. We look at five movies about Algeria you should put on your to-watch list.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

\"Indig\u00e8nesReleased in 2006, the English title of Rachid Bouchareb\u2019s film,\u00a0Indig\u00e8nes,\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Natives<\/em>\u00a0in French, is a traditional war movie. Set in the Second World War era the film tries to cover a not-so-well-known side of the war as it depicts the discriminatory treatment of soldiers from Algeria and other French colonies, who fought for the fatherland, but their contribution was hardly recognized as they are treated as second-class citizens. The film was nominated for the 2006 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film while the four leading actors won the Best Actor Award at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
