ALGERIA - 1943 |
| 00:02:08 |
We must rid France |
| 00:02:11 |
Come along ! Come with me ! |
| 00:02:13 |
We must wash the French flag |
| 00:02:15 |
Come with me, men ! |
| 00:02:17 |
We must liberate France |
| 00:02:20 |
Come, you men ! |
| 00:02:21 |
We must liberate France. |
| 00:02:35 |
Saïd ! |
| 00:02:38 |
Come back ! |
| 00:02:42 |
Be reasonable. |
| 00:02:44 |
Come back inside. |
| 00:02:56 |
- Your grandfather never came back. |
| 00:03:00 |
I want to help France. |
| 00:03:04 |
I prefer the worst poverty |
| 00:03:11 |
You have endured much worse. |
| 00:03:14 |
Please, let me go. |
| 00:03:20 |
Pray for me. |
| 00:03:27 |
Get in. |
| 00:03:29 |
Move it ! |
| 00:03:38 |
Long live France ! |
| 00:03:42 |
Climb in. |
| 00:04:10 |
MOROCCO - 1943 |
| 00:04:24 |
To the left... |
| 00:04:32 |
I know that you Aït Tserouchen, |
| 00:04:35 |
Are the French army's best fighters, |
| 00:04:37 |
better than the other Berbers. |
| 00:04:39 |
And you'll prove it ! |
| 00:04:41 |
Listen carefully now. |
| 00:04:43 |
We permit raids in enemy territory |
| 00:04:45 |
But hands off the women |
| 00:04:48 |
In France. No raids at all. |
| 00:04:50 |
We show discipline ! |
| 00:04:52 |
It's our home, our motherland ! |
| 00:04:57 |
To the left... |
| 00:05:00 |
Yassir, they make us march like mules. |
| 00:05:03 |
Serve France with pride, |
| 00:05:06 |
Why did you get us enlisted ? |
| 00:05:08 |
For the money... |
| 00:05:12 |
Forward... |
| 00:05:12 |
March ! |
| 00:05:18 |
The Sergeant communicates |
| 00:05:20 |
SÉTIF, ALGERIA - 1943 |
| 00:05:23 |
through verbal orders... |
| 00:05:26 |
and through signals... |
| 00:05:29 |
through verbal orders |
| 00:05:31 |
used simultaneously. |
| 00:05:38 |
We're the men of Africa. |
| 00:05:41 |
We've come from the colonies |
| 00:05:44 |
We've left behind |
| 00:05:47 |
And our hearts are full |
| 00:05:50 |
For we wish to bear high and proud |
| 00:05:53 |
The cherished flag of sweet France |
| 00:05:56 |
Should someone try to part us |
| 00:05:59 |
We're here to die at her feet |
| 00:06:02 |
Drums roll to mark our love |
| 00:06:05 |
We've come from afar to die |
| 00:06:07 |
At ease ! |
| 00:07:07 |
Company... |
| 00:07:09 |
Halt ! |
| 00:07:10 |
Left turn ! |
| 00:07:20 |
Don't salute me here. |
| 00:07:22 |
They always pick officers as targets. |
| 00:07:25 |
Corporal Abdelkader, 2nd Company, |
| 00:07:30 |
reporting. Sir ! |
| 00:07:32 |
What can your lads do ? |
| 00:07:34 |
No idea. Sir. They're my first group. |
| 00:07:37 |
You got your rank how ? |
| 00:07:38 |
I passed the exam. Sir. |
| 00:07:42 |
I took mine with the Boche. |
| 00:07:53 |
Corporal Leroux reporting, sir. |
| 00:08:10 |
You can go. |
| 00:08:19 |
Praise be to God. |
| 00:08:20 |
Take this German rifle. |
| 00:08:23 |
You'll be the marksman. |
| 00:08:32 |
Take it. |
| 00:08:37 |
Hit the deck ! |
| 00:09:04 |
Don't blame him, Sergeant. |
| 00:09:06 |
They're still green. |
| 00:09:11 |
I have the power |
| 00:09:17 |
Starting with you. |
| 00:09:19 |
Yes... |
| 00:09:32 |
The Germans are dug in up there. |
| 00:09:36 |
Tomorrow, our mission |
| 00:09:38 |
To flush them out. |
| 00:09:40 |
We have to do it. |
| 00:09:42 |
It's a light infantry job. |
| 00:09:45 |
You'll lead the men. |
| 00:09:50 |
Any trouble, take out a cigarette. |
| 00:09:52 |
Before you light it, |
| 00:09:55 |
Yes, Sergeant. |
| 00:09:57 |
- It reassures the lads behind. |
| 00:10:16 |
Hitting a soldier isn't allowed. |
| 00:10:18 |
I know the Sergeant from Tunisia. |
| 00:10:22 |
He knows his job. |
| 00:10:25 |
Where are you from Saïd ? |
| 00:10:28 |
From total poverty. |
| 00:10:32 |
Listen, in that uniform... |
| 00:10:36 |
You're like all of us. |
| 00:10:38 |
We're the same family. |
| 00:10:42 |
Wait a while. |
| 00:10:52 |
Corporal... |
| 00:11:03 |
Enough talk. |
| 00:11:05 |
Tomorrow, you'll know... |
| 00:11:08 |
if you're soldiers or not. |
| 00:11:22 |
Your coffee, Sarge. |
| 00:11:25 |
Thank you, Ali. |
| 00:11:27 |
Careful. It's hot. |
| 00:11:35 |
We'll be in for it tomorrow. |
| 00:11:37 |
Yes, tomorrow we have a party. |
| 00:11:40 |
God willing. |
| 00:11:59 |
O Merciful Compassionate |
| 00:12:02 |
Merciful. Compassionate King |
| 00:12:05 |
You alone we worship |
| 00:12:07 |
Guide us along the right path... |
| 00:12:09 |
Merciful. Compassionate King |
| 00:12:15 |
You alone we worship, |
| 00:12:17 |
it is You whom we beseech, |
| 00:12:20 |
Guide us along the right path... |
| 00:12:23 |
God is great. |
| 00:13:05 |
I declare that no God but Allah... |
| 00:13:07 |
... and Mohammed is his Prophet. |
| 00:13:18 |
Move forward ! |
| 00:13:53 |
Abdelkader, move ! |
| 00:13:56 |
Abdelkader ! |
| 00:13:58 |
Corporal ! |
| 00:13:59 |
What do we do ? |
| 00:14:01 |
Shut up ! |
| 00:14:05 |
Move ! |
| 00:14:06 |
We'll die if we stay here. |
| 00:14:22 |
Messaoud ! |
| 00:14:23 |
Ahmed ! |
| 00:14:24 |
Saïd ! |
| 00:14:25 |

| 00:14:59 |
Battery number 5. |
| 00:15:01 |
938-991 |
| 00:15:04 |
Battery number 5. |
| 00:15:06 |
- Copy. |
| 00:15:09 |
Battery number 4. |
| 00:15:14 |
Bearing 1400, order 340. |
| 00:15:16 |

First gun, ready ! |
| 00:15:18 |
Second gun, ready ! |
| 00:15:19 |
Attention... Fire ! |
| 00:15:28 |
Stay down ! That's our side. |
| 00:16:20 |
Larbi ? Larbi ! |
| 00:16:23 |
Don't be afraid, my little friend... |
| 00:16:25 |
we're not going to die today. |
| 00:16:44 |
Forward, Messaoud, over there ! |
| 00:16:47 |
Move forward ! Keep going ! |
| 00:16:58 |
Sergeant ! |
| 00:16:58 |
Stay behind me ! |
| 00:17:07 |
Ali, are you hurt ? |
| 00:17:46 |
Keep going ! |
| 00:18:10 |
Come out of there ! |
| 00:18:18 |
Open his mouth. |
| 00:18:23 |
Stop ! |
| 00:18:26 |
We're soldiers, not savages. |
| 00:18:29 |
Fuck you ! |
| 00:18:30 |
Scum ! |
| 00:18:36 |
We're pulling out ! |
| 00:18:52 |
Long live France ! |
| 00:20:02 |
Colonel... |
| 00:20:04 |
How many casualties ? |
| 00:20:06 |
How many dead ? |
| 00:20:08 |
It's a magnificent victory. |
| 00:20:10 |
For the first time |
| 00:20:11 |
our army has defeated the Germans. |
| 00:20:14 |
France has regained glory |
| 00:20:17 |
Write that. |
| 00:20:19 |
A photo Colonel ? |
| 00:20:22 |
Write what I said. |
| 00:20:24 |
Let's go. |
| 00:21:40 |
Lower... |
| 00:21:44 |
That's it ! |
| 00:21:49 |
Yes ? |
| 00:21:57 |
At ease. |
| 00:21:58 |
What do you want ? |
| 00:22:00 |
I come to say thank you. |
| 00:22:04 |
You save my life, Sergeant. |
| 00:22:06 |
You want to thank me ? |
| 00:22:07 |
Make some coffee. |
| 00:22:10 |
If I'm pleased, |
| 00:22:21 |
Well ? What did he say ? |
| 00:22:23 |
Are we going home ? |
| 00:22:25 |
- Soon, God willing. |
| 00:22:27 |
Thank you, my friend. |
| 00:22:30 |
Where's my chocolate ? |
| 00:22:33 |
- Here. |
| 00:22:44 |
No tomatoes for you. |
| 00:22:48 |
- Why ? |
| 00:22:52 |
What do you mean ? |
| 00:22:55 |
Let go of him ! |
| 00:23:00 |
You're cooking while he fights. |
| 00:23:02 |
Yes, Sergeant. |
| 00:23:05 |
Move it. |
| 00:23:10 |
Why aren't the tomatoes for everyone ? |
| 00:23:12 |
He's right. |
| 00:23:14 |
We want tomatoes too ! |
| 00:23:17 |
He's right ! |
| 00:23:20 |
Shut your mouths ! |
| 00:23:26 |
You're not happy ? |
| 00:23:50 |
No one will have any now... |
| 00:23:52 |
Sergeant. |
| 00:24:07 |
They're ready to die for us |
| 00:24:11 |
You know the natives, Martinez... |
| 00:24:13 |
Avoid that term, sir. |
| 00:24:14 |
- The Muslims... |
| 00:24:15 |
So what do I call them ? |
| 00:24:17 |
The men, sir. The men. |
| 00:24:31 |
What's going on here ? |
| 00:24:33 |
Captain, |
| 00:24:34 |
we fight alongside |
| 00:24:37 |
On the same terrain, |
| 00:24:40 |
We must share the tomatoes too. |
| 00:24:44 |
German bullets |
| 00:24:50 |
Sergeant. When we have tomatoes |
| 00:24:53 |
let everyone have them. |
| 00:24:54 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:24:56 |
Thank you, sir. |
| 00:25:05 |
My boys... My dear boys ! |
| 00:25:07 |
The dream for which |
| 00:25:10 |
is coming true at last ! |
| 00:25:13 |
Your wounds and suffering, |
| 00:25:15 |
all the pain |
| 00:25:16 |
and bloodshed, |
| 00:25:18 |
are the price to pay |
| 00:25:20 |
We shall soon see France again ! |
| 00:25:24 |
We are going home ! |
| 00:26:03 |
PROVENCE - AUGUST 1944 |
| 00:26:52 |
Smell it. |
| 00:26:55 |
- It's not like at home. |
| 00:26:57 |
French soil, is better. |
| 00:27:01 |
Look ! |
| 00:27:05 |
Long live France ! |
| 00:27:49 |
Do you speak French ? |
| 00:27:50 |
Yes, I understand it. |
| 00:27:52 |
- What's your name ? |
| 00:27:56 |
And what's your name ? |
| 00:27:57 |
Irène. |
| 00:28:07 |
The sergeant says, |
| 00:28:08 |
"Go up the mountain." |
| 00:28:10 |
I was scared |
| 00:28:13 |
I go up the mountain, |
| 00:28:15 |
Messaoud to my right, |
| 00:28:17 |
I'm not scared then. |
| 00:28:20 |
But Germany shoots at us. |
| 00:28:23 |
Messaoud says, |
| 00:28:26 |
I don't speak. |
| 00:28:28 |
I look at the sergeant. |
| 00:28:30 |
I know what he wants. |
| 00:28:32 |
I take the grenade, pull the pin |
| 00:28:36 |
All of Germany, they die. |
| 00:28:43 |
I free a country, it's my country. |
| 00:28:47 |
Even if I never saw it before. |
| 00:28:49 |
It's my country. |
| 00:28:51 |
Your country is all you like ? |
| 00:28:54 |
God willing, we'll beat Germany. |
| 00:29:41 |
Look. |
| 00:29:42 |
Iron Cross. German. |
| 00:29:44 |
Very beautiful. |
| 00:29:47 |
Dangerous soldier... |
| 00:29:50 |
Take this. |
| 00:29:53 |
Good quality. |
| 00:29:56 |
Iron Cross. |
| 00:30:46 |
Unlucky |
| 00:30:48 |
Why unlucky ? |
| 00:30:52 |
I didn't know you. |
| 00:30:56 |
Sorry. |
| 00:30:57 |
Good night. |
| 00:31:01 |
Why are you scared ? |
| 00:31:05 |
The Germans won't be back. |
| 00:31:09 |
You wiped them out. |
| 00:31:11 |
It's not that. |
| 00:31:14 |
But... |
| 00:31:16 |
In my country, |
| 00:32:22 |
Leave it ! |
| 00:32:24 |
Don't touch it ! |
| 00:32:25 |
It's a sin ! |
| 00:32:28 |
Aren't you ashamed ? |
| 00:32:30 |
Why. Yassir ? |
| 00:32:36 |
- Don't touch it. |
| 00:32:54 |
Look... |
| 00:32:57 |
Their God suffered a lot. |
| 00:33:00 |
A lot |
| 00:33:04 |
Tell me, Yassir... |
| 00:33:06 |
When I was little, |
| 00:33:08 |
the French soldiers |
| 00:33:12 |
Did they massacre them ? |
| 00:33:15 |
What did they call it ? |
| 00:33:18 |
They called it... |
| 00:33:19 |
Pacification. |
| 00:33:22 |
Pacification ? |
| 00:33:43 |
- Corporal, can you read ? |
| 00:33:49 |
I can't read. |
| 00:33:53 |
I never went to school. |
| 00:33:55 |
You can learn. |
| 00:34:10 |
Corporal, come here ! |
| 00:34:21 |
It's a military handbook, Sergeant |
| 00:34:23 |
"The Infantry NCO's Handbook" |
| 00:34:25 |
You want to be a Colonel ? |
| 00:34:27 |
A Sergeant first, Sergeant. |
| 00:34:31 |
Let me read you a passage. |
| 00:34:35 |
"In theory, |
| 00:34:36 |
"no soldier should return home |
| 00:34:41 |
"Classes are obligatory for all men |
| 00:34:43 |
"upon their enlistment." |
| 00:34:46 |
Yet none of these African troops |
| 00:34:52 |
Saïd... |
| 00:34:54 |
You want to learn to read ? |
| 00:35:00 |
It's too late, Sergeant. |
| 00:35:03 |
And to read what ? |
| 00:35:15 |
Get me a clean shirt. |
| 00:35:27 |
You'll come back ? |
| 00:35:28 |
Yes, I promise I come back |
| 00:35:31 |
You wait for me ? |
| 00:35:32 |
Yes. |
| 00:35:56 |
RHONE VALLEY - OCTOBER 1944 |
| 00:36:19 |
I never loved a girl like this. |
| 00:36:21 |
I want to marry her, |

| 00:37:33 |
What is this shit ? |
| 00:37:35 |
Only you French guys get leave ? |
| 00:37:37 |
- We've fought since Marseilles. |
| 00:37:39 |
We're off to Paris. |
| 00:37:43 |
This wog says fuck you. |
| 00:37:59 |
You miss home, your family ? |
| 00:38:05 |
Why speak Arabic ? |
| 00:38:10 |
Me too. I like to go leave |
| 00:38:19 |
- Any mail for me ? |
| 00:38:22 |
Look again. It's not normal. |
| 00:38:24 |
I wrote three times. |
| 00:38:25 |
- Or maybe I'm listed as dead. |
| 00:38:28 |
- Private ! |
| 00:38:42 |
Here's Aïcha ! |
| 00:38:46 |
How is she ? |
| 00:38:48 |
Has Sergeant Martinez |
| 00:38:50 |
Marrying a Moroccan ? |
| 00:38:53 |
Why are you hassling me ? |
| 00:38:55 |
Go to your Marseilles girl... |
| 00:39:00 |
It doesn't matter. |
| 00:39:03 |
You're the one I want, |
| 00:39:07 |
Our beautiful Aïcha. |
| 00:39:09 |
She takes care of us. |
| 00:39:13 |
- As God is my witness... |
| 00:39:17 |
If you ever call me Aïcha again... |
| 00:39:22 |
If any of you... |
| 00:39:24 |
No problem, my brother. |
| 00:39:27 |
- Everyone has understood. |
| 00:39:30 |
Leave him be. Calm down.. |
| 00:39:31 |
If anyone calls me Aïcha. |
| 00:39:36 |
Let go of him. |
| 00:39:37 |
- I'm not a child ! |
| 00:39:39 |
Let go of him ! |
| 00:39:42 |
You're mad ! |
| 00:39:45 |
Are you soldiers, |
| 00:39:50 |
Shame on you ! |
| 00:39:52 |
Get out of here ! |
| 00:39:54 |
Get out now ! |
| 00:39:56 |
Quickly ! |
| 00:39:59 |
And don't do that again ! |
| 00:40:01 |
Listen to me, you. |
| 00:40:03 |
You're not a slave. |
| 00:40:04 |
There are no slaves here ! |
| 00:40:06 |
No one here has bothered with me. |
| 00:40:13 |
Learn your book by heart |
| 00:40:17 |
Who's becoming a Colonel ? |
| 00:40:19 |
This donkey ? This mule ?! |
| 00:40:23 |
Why can't they become Colonels ? |
| 00:40:27 |
Why not him ? And even him ? |
| 00:40:31 |
Why not ! |
| 00:40:36 |
So try... |
| 00:40:40 |
It's over ! |
| 00:40:43 |
Do it ! |
| 00:40:47 |
I want no more trouble ! |
| 00:40:54 |
THE VOSGES - NOVEMBER 1944 |
| 00:41:09 |
Yes, it looks ugly ! |
| 00:41:10 |
It'll be worse in there ! |
| 00:41:13 |
It'll be tougher than Italy. |
| 00:41:15 |
But I have faith in you. |
| 00:41:17 |
I have faith in you |
| 00:41:22 |
The French people have placed |
| 00:41:25 |
And are watching us |
| 00:41:29 |
We have to be up there by dark ! |
| 00:41:31 |
And, even dead, we shall be ! |
| 00:00:31 |
Sergeant... |
| 00:00:32 |
I've taken the position. |
| 00:00:37 |
I'm here, Sergeant. |
| 00:00:41 |
I'm the boss around here ! |
| 00:00:43 |
I ordered you to regroup, |
| 00:00:47 |
I give the orders. |
| 00:00:50 |
We've lost Omar ! |
| 00:00:59 |
Go to say we've taken the enemy position |
| 00:01:04 |
Yes, Sergeant. |
| 00:01:35 |
Sergeant ? |
| 00:01:39 |
I have news for you Saïd. |
| 00:01:42 |
You're promoted Private First Class. |
| 00:01:43 |
You're transferred to HQ. |
| 00:01:45 |
Take your pack and go there. |
| 00:01:49 |
I don't want to be First Class, Sarge. |
| 00:01:53 |
I'm fine like I am now. |
| 00:01:57 |
I was kidding ! |
| 00:02:14 |
Learn to fend for yourself. |
| 00:02:17 |
I might die one day. |
| 00:02:23 |
You're not going to die, Sarge. |
| 00:02:25 |
You not say that, ever. |
| 00:02:30 |
You're going to be alive |
| 00:02:32 |
to become Captain, God willing. |
| 00:02:37 |
Captain is too much paperwork. |
| 00:02:56 |
Are French girls all like this ? |
| 00:02:59 |
She says she's with you for life |
| 00:03:03 |
Is that how it is here ? |
| 00:03:05 |
When you get promoted, |
| 00:03:10 |
She is beautiful... |
| 00:03:15 |
Look at the photo |
| 00:03:16 |
and tell me what you think. |
| 00:03:19 |
Is she serious or not serious ? |
| 00:03:22 |
- What is her name ? |
| 00:03:24 |
Irène's a pretty name. |
| 00:03:29 |
We have to see this war through. |
| 00:03:33 |
Irène will be proud of you. |
| 00:03:52 |
Listen to this. |
| 00:03:54 |
"After the war, |
| 00:03:56 |
"I send you kisses. I think of you... |
| 00:03:59 |
"... day and night, Messaoud." |
| 00:04:02 |
- Pretty, huh ? |
| 00:04:05 |
CENSORED |
| 00:04:12 |
They're not idiots, Captain. |
| 00:04:14 |
They've been away from home 20 months, |
| 00:04:17 |
I know, Sergeant ! |
| 00:04:18 |
- The French get leave. |
| 00:04:21 |
There were ships to bring them here, |
| 00:04:23 |
but none to send them on leave ? |
| 00:04:27 |
We'd like to see our families, |
| 00:04:29 |
like the mainland French. |
| 00:04:33 |
And the French get promotion |
| 00:04:37 |
You're doing good work. |
| 00:04:41 |
I don't want it. |
| 00:04:45 |
Corporal Abdelkader, for instance. |
| 00:05:08 |
Don't sleep. |
| 00:05:09 |
Wake up ! Get up ! |
| 00:05:53 |
God rest his soul. |
| 00:06:39 |
What is it ? |
| 00:06:41 |
What does it say ? |
| 00:06:43 |
Read it. |
| 00:06:47 |
"Muslim soldier, |
| 00:06:50 |
"know that you can cross |
| 00:06:54 |
"where you will be warmly welcomed |
| 00:06:56 |
"and your life saved. |
| 00:06:59 |
"Your leaders send you to die |
| 00:07:06 |
"Muslim soldier, |
| 00:07:08 |
"you weren't born into slavery. |
| 00:07:11 |
"Germany will give you |
| 00:07:17 |
"The day of independence |
| 00:07:21 |
What would you do without us, |
| 00:07:28 |
You have something in mind ? |
| 00:07:32 |
Out with it, |
| 00:07:33 |
man to man. |
| 00:07:36 |
De Gaulle said |
| 00:07:40 |
I'm fighting with France |
| 00:08:20 |
Come out of your holes ! |
| 00:08:22 |
We have leave ! |
| 00:08:25 |
Come out ! |
| 00:08:27 |
There is leave ! We're going home ! |
| 00:08:31 |
It is finished. It is finished. |
| 00:09:02 |
These aren't to go home in. |
| 00:09:11 |
This evening, there will be dancers ! |
| 00:09:30 |
She hasn't replied to my letters. |
| 00:09:33 |
Be patient, soldier. |
| 00:09:35 |
There's a war on. |
| 00:09:38 |
It has. |
| 00:09:42 |
Leroux ! Martinez ! |
| 00:09:46 |
Martinez, you're promoted to |
| 00:09:51 |
Thank you, Captain. |
| 00:09:52 |
And you are Sergeant now, Leroux. |
| 00:09:56 |
Try to find stripes. |
| 00:10:00 |
Well done, Leroux. |
| 00:10:01 |
Thank you, Staff Sergeant. |
| 00:10:10 |
Messaoud ! |
| 00:10:12 |
The girls will go wild for you |
| 00:10:20 |
Do you like your coat, Corporal ? |
| 00:10:22 |
Yes, I suppose. |
| 00:10:32 |
God keep you. |
| 00:10:35 |
Amen. |
| 00:11:05 |
Saïd ! |
| 00:11:09 |
He wears me out ! |
| 00:11:15 |
Here I am ! |
| 00:11:16 |
Sit yourself down. |
| 00:11:25 |
Whisky. |
| 00:11:26 |
Like in America. |
| 00:11:37 |
Excuse me, Sarge, it burns ! |
| 00:11:42 |
Just a second... |
| 00:11:58 |
Have a cigar. |
| 00:12:01 |
- Is it for me ? |
| 00:12:05 |
You know, |
| 00:12:07 |
I don't usually smoke cigars, |
| 00:12:11 |
but I will now. |
| 00:12:17 |
I like you, Saïd. |
| 00:12:21 |
Me too, Sarge. |
| 00:12:23 |
I like you too. |
| 00:12:25 |
You deserve to be First Class. |
| 00:12:29 |
The whole unit does. |
| 00:12:32 |
They can't tell, they don't know us. |
| 00:12:40 |
We'll liberate the country |
| 00:12:50 |
But, Sarge... |
| 00:12:52 |
Here too is our home. |
| 00:12:57 |
It's France. |
| 00:12:58 |
We're fighting for her, |
| 00:13:01 |
Here is our home and I know |
| 00:13:05 |
you're like us too... |
| 00:13:10 |
An Arab. |
| 00:13:14 |
What did you just say ? |
| 00:13:17 |
I see photo of your mother |
| 00:13:23 |
It's incredible. |
| 00:13:25 |
Put the photo of your mother |
| 00:13:29 |
next to photo of my mother, |
| 00:13:32 |
You searched my things, |
| 00:13:39 |
Shit-stirring scum ! |
| 00:13:44 |
Never talk about this again |
| 00:13:49 |
Get lost ! |
| 00:14:26 |
Fall in ! Attention ! |
| 00:14:40 |
At ease ! |
| 00:16:14 |
What is this shit ?! |
| 00:16:18 |
Sit down ! |
| 00:16:26 |
I'm taking my leave ! |
| 00:16:51 |
With her potatoes |
| 00:16:54 |
France is our mother |
| 00:16:57 |
Listen ! |
| 00:17:02 |
Listen to me, my brothers ! |
| 00:17:06 |
When I enlisted, |
| 00:17:10 |
He said France was fighting |
| 00:17:14 |
I thought the war would give us |
| 00:17:20 |
We're all fighting against Hitler. |
| 00:17:22 |
For liberty, |
| 00:17:28 |
It's about time they gave us |
| 00:17:31 |
that equality |
| 00:17:49 |
We're changing |
| 00:17:53 |
Things must change for us too ! |
| 00:17:56 |
Stand aside ! |
| 00:17:59 |
You're asking for it ! |
| 00:18:01 |
You keep stirring up shit ! |
| 00:18:03 |
The French reward themselves, |
| 00:18:05 |
then you white Africans, |
| 00:18:07 |
and we Natives are forgotten. |
| 00:18:10 |
There are quotas. |
| 00:18:13 |
Quotas ? |
| 00:18:16 |
Why didn't you tell us ? |
| 00:18:19 |
You can't understand, |
| 00:18:22 |
Why can't I understand ? |
| 00:18:27 |
Wogs aren't capable of leadership. |
| 00:18:33 |
That day will come, Sergeant. |
| 00:18:36 |
Pardon me... |
| 00:19:06 |
What are you doing here ? |
| 00:19:09 |
I tried to get to Marseilles. |
| 00:19:13 |
The French get leave, |
| 00:19:17 |
Is it normal ? |
| 00:19:19 |
You tried to desert. |
| 00:19:21 |
Are you crazy ? |
| 00:19:24 |
I have to see her. |
| 00:19:30 |
Why are you here, Corporal ? |
| 00:19:35 |
I had a fight with Martinez, |
| 00:19:44 |
Got a Gauloise ? |
| 00:19:52 |
They're at the front. |
| 00:19:57 |
Write to him. |
| 00:19:59 |
I already have, several times. |
| 00:20:10 |
Tell me... |
| 00:20:13 |
Is he dead ? |
| 00:20:16 |
Give me his name. We'll find out. |
| 00:20:19 |
Messaoud Souni. |
| 00:20:23 |
He's with the 7th |
| 00:20:29 |
If we hear anything, |
| 00:20:34 |
Thank you. |
| 00:20:36 |
Colonel, we must be firm |
| 00:20:39 |
Punish this Corporal as a warning. |
| 00:20:42 |
Rambert, tell me something... |
| 00:20:46 |
Yes, Colonel ? |
| 00:20:47 |
Before joining De Gaulle |
| 00:20:50 |
what were you in Vichy ? |
| 00:20:58 |
- Martinez. |
| 00:21:00 |
You know the Muslims. |
| 00:21:04 |
He's loyal to France, Colonel. |
| 00:21:06 |
All my men are patriots. |
| 00:21:13 |
Corporal, you risk |
| 00:21:16 |
- There is injustice, Colonel. |
| 00:21:19 |
We must strive together |
| 00:21:23 |
France needs us, all of us. |
| 00:21:25 |
Do you understand what I'm saying ? |
| 00:21:30 |
Yes, Colonel. |
| 00:21:36 |
In Alsace, the 35th US Division |
| 00:21:39 |
has broken through. |
| 00:21:40 |
They're under attack and require |
| 00:21:46 |
We must hold this bridgehead |
| 00:21:49 |
until the offensive |
| 00:21:52 |
Captain Durieux needs brave men, |
| 00:21:55 |
men of experience. |
| 00:21:56 |
It's a very dangerous mission. |
| 00:22:02 |
I volunteer, Colonel. |
| 00:22:05 |
Corporal, |
| 00:22:09 |
that the rewards for yourself |
| 00:22:13 |
who contribute to |
| 00:22:15 |
will be worthy of the feat. |
| 00:22:17 |
You will be the first |
| 00:22:20 |
All of France will watch |
| 00:22:26 |
I shall fight with |
| 00:22:29 |
as I have always done. |
| 00:22:34 |
Corporal Abdelkader. |
| 00:22:36 |
He's a man of his word. |
| 00:22:38 |
There's no time to lose. |
| 00:22:43 |
Captain... |
| 00:22:47 |
Private Messaoud is in jail. |
| 00:22:49 |
We need our marksman. |
| 00:22:52 |
Thank you, Captain. |
| 00:23:10 |
Tell the men to keep quiet. |
| 00:23:12 |
Quiet ! |
| 00:23:14 |
Keep quiet and control the mules. |
| 00:24:30 |
Larbi ?! |
| 00:25:12 |
Why ? |
| 00:25:13 |
Why ? My God ? Why ?! |
| 00:25:52 |
The Captain and Leroux are dead. |
| 00:25:56 |
We've lost five men too. |
| 00:26:01 |
You're in charge now. |
| 00:26:07 |
It is your decision. |
| 00:26:12 |
Either you help the Americans |
| 00:26:18 |
or you turn back. |
| 00:26:33 |
Fetch the mule, |
| 00:26:36 |
We've lost the ammunition ! |
| 00:26:38 |
- He's right. |
| 00:26:40 |
We'll be the first French troops |
| 00:26:43 |
If we manage to hold... |
| 00:26:45 |
the American positions, believe me... |
| 00:26:49 |
we'll get what we deserve. |
| 00:26:52 |
You'll get nothing ! |
| 00:26:53 |
Haven't you realised yet ? |
| 00:26:56 |
I've just given |
| 00:26:59 |
Enough ! |
| 00:27:00 |
Enough ! |
| 00:27:04 |
Corporal, be reasonable ! |
| 00:27:07 |
Be reasonable ! |
| 00:27:08 |
You want to kill each other ?! |
| 00:27:10 |
Enough have died already ! |
| 00:27:12 |
Corporal, pull yourself together ! |
| 00:27:14 |
Our comrades are dead ! |
| 00:27:18 |
Thanks to God, we are alive ! |
| 00:27:21 |
Corporal, God bless your family. |
| 00:27:26 |
He's right. |
| 00:27:29 |
- There's no point any more. |
| 00:27:32 |
You want to be a Sergeant ? |
| 00:27:35 |
You don't understand anything ! |
| 00:27:38 |
We're doing our duty |
| 00:27:44 |
Even if we pay 10 or |
| 00:27:47 |
We shall pay ! |
| 00:27:51 |
And they'll know us for it. |
| 00:27:55 |
What's wrong with you ? |
| 00:27:58 |
Listen, Yassir... |
| 00:28:01 |
You want to go home |
| 00:28:04 |
We see it through to the end. |
| 00:28:06 |
Your brother, God rest him, |
| 00:28:14 |
Saïd, please go... |
| 00:28:18 |
Bring back the mule. |
| 00:28:20 |
Don't argue anymore. |
| 00:28:22 |
It's over now. Go quickly. |
| 00:28:50 |
Come here... |
| 00:28:52 |
Come, my beautiful... |
| 00:29:06 |
Come... |
| 00:29:09 |
Don't make this difficult. |
| 00:29:11 |
I'm tired... |
| 00:29:15 |
Be good. |
| 00:29:17 |
I can't run after you... |
| 00:29:20 |
For the love of God ! |
| 00:31:41 |
Yassir, round the back ! |
| 00:33:15 |
The French ! |
| 00:33:21 |
You're alone ? |
| 00:35:18 |
We'll defend the position, Staff Sergeant. |
| 00:35:23 |
We'll hold it |
| 00:35:27 |
I would have done the same... |
| 00:35:32 |
... Corporal. |
| 00:35:41 |
I have to go see to the men. |
| 00:35:56 |
I hope that you die. |
| 00:36:04 |
Sergeant... |
| 00:36:06 |
Staff Sergeant ! |
| 00:38:23 |
You'd never know |
| 00:38:29 |
What are we doing here ? |
| 00:38:35 |
After the war, |
| 00:38:39 |
You'll rise up the ranks and |
| 00:38:46 |
I don't want to be a Sergeant ! |
| 00:38:50 |
Some have the right to it, |
| 00:38:54 |
God forgets me for the moment. |
| 00:39:02 |
Have you ever given |
| 00:39:07 |
Never. |
| 00:39:13 |
Tell me honestly |
| 00:39:15 |
Will we survive this ? |
| 00:39:44 |
Listen, Saïd... |
| 00:39:46 |
We've always survived... |
| 00:39:48 |
together. |
| 00:39:50 |
Did you forget that ? |
| 00:39:54 |
We are in God's hands. |
| 00:40:14 |
Thank you, Madame. |
| 00:40:23 |
Enjoy your meal, gentlemen. |
| 00:40:25 |
Thank you, Madame. |
| 00:40:30 |
Who can live in this cold ? |
| 00:40:34 |
The French ! |
| 00:41:26 |
Can I fetch milk |
| 00:41:49 |
Does she give a lot of milk ? |
| 00:41:53 |
Two or three buckets. |
| 00:42:01 |
Want to try ? |
| 00:42:03 |
Sure... |
| 00:42:33 |
You're never afraid ? |
| 00:42:37 |
Sometimes I am. |
| 00:42:41 |
But tonight I'm not afraid. |
| 00:49:45 |
Lord God... |
| 00:49:47 |
I declare that there is |
| 00:50:55 |
- I'll get Martinez. |
| 00:50:59 |
Listen to me... |
| 00:51:01 |
Messaoud is dead. |
| 00:51:05 |
Be careful, my brother. |
| 00:51:07 |
Wait... |
| 00:51:11 |
Yassir ! |
| 00:51:13 |
Cover us ! |
| 00:51:17 |
1, 2... |
| 00:51:19 |
Go ! |
| 00:51:38 |
Sarge, get up ! |
| 00:51:50 |
Get up ! |
| 00:51:56 |
Come on ! |
| 00:52:33 |
Yassir ! |
| 00:52:35 |
Cover me, I'm coming ! |
| 00:52:51 |
Get out ! Hurry ! |
| 00:52:59 |
Come on, let's go ! |
| 00:53:01 |
Move yourself ! |
| 00:53:27 |
Get up ! Get up ! |
| 00:53:31 |
Get up for pity's sake ! |
| 00:54:32 |
Brothers... |
| 00:54:33 |
I'm with you ! |
| 00:54:35 |
Don't shoot ! |
| 00:54:36 |
Okay. |
| 00:56:46 |
Don't stop ! Keep going ! |
| 00:56:52 |
Colonel... |
| 00:56:55 |
Colonel ! |
| 00:56:57 |
- Stop ! |
| 00:57:00 |
- What ? |
| 00:57:01 |
- See your Sergeant. |
| 00:57:04 |
So where's your unit ? |
| 00:57:07 |
I don't have one. |
| 00:57:11 |

Get your pack and follow us. |

60 years later |
| 01:02:44 |
In 1959, a law was passed to freeze |
| 01:02:49 |
from former French colonies |
| 01:02:53 |
In 2002, after endless hearings, |
| 01:02:55 |
the French government was |
| 01:02:58 |
to pay the pensions in full. |
| 01:03:01 |
But successive governments |
| 01:03:04 |
have refused to pay. |
