How the media was used as a political weapon in the anti-colonial struggle during the Algerian war of independence.
A set of previously unpublished archives from the Algerian War of Independence filmed on 35mm film has been discovered in Belgrade. They were shot by Stevan Labudovic, the cameraman of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito.
Labudovic spent three years filming Algeria’s war of independence with unprecedented access. His images and diaries inspire this little-known story of how Algeria’s National Liberation Front (FLN) harnessed the power of film and media to diplomatically win a war it was destined to lose. In the process, they created a playbook for modern information battles, taking their fight to the heart of the international community: the United Nations.
Cine-Guerillas is a documentary film by Mila Turajlic.
