1943. They have never stepped foot on French soil but because France was at war, Said, Abdelkader, Messaoud and Yassir enlist in the French Army, along with 130,000 other “indigenous” soldiers, to liberate the “fatherland” from the Nazi enemy. Heroes that history has forgotten…

Fine at educating but could’ve been much shorter, not entertaining and mildly depressing

A story that  should be told, and it is a different soldiers story than we typically get, being from the view of someone being discriminated and frankly has little reason to actually fight for the side they are fighting for. But beyond the take on such a story for the most part it is just a typical war, fine but typical in performance and action .
