To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of The Battle of Algiers (1966), we revisited our edition of the film and our interviews with director Gillo Pontecorvo and producer Saadi Yacef, who discuss the process of depicting Algeria's fight for independence and the challenges of presenting a balanced vision of the conflict. This documentary is featured on the 3-Disc Criterion Collection DVD for La Bataille d'Alger (1966), released in 2004.
