Harkis

Les Harkis

Philippe Faucon

During the Algerian War (1954-1962), many impoverished young Algerian men, known as harkis, volunteer to join the French Army. Salah and Kaddour find themselves under the orders of Lieutenant Pascal. But as the conflict draws to an end, the prospect of independence looms. The outlook for the harkis seems bleak. Lieutenant Pascal confronts his superiors, insisting that every single man in his platoon must be evacuated to France.
