520    Focuses on the harrowing events of 1957, a key year in 
       Algeria's struggle for independence from France. Recreates
       the tumultuous Algerian uprising against the occupying 
       French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, 
       the French torture prisoners for information and the 
       Algerians resort to terrorism in their quest for 
       independence. Children shoot soldiers at point-blank range,
       women plant bombs in cafes. The French win the battle, but
       ultimately lose the war as the Algerian people demonstrate
       that they will no longer be suppressed. 
520    The film is considered one of the most influential 
       political films in history, by Gillo Pontecorvo. Vividly 
       re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle 
       for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. 
       As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot 
       soldiers at point-blank range, etc. Shot on the streets of
       Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in 
       modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal 
       techniques used to combat them.
