"The Battle of Algiers" is possibly the best film ever made on insurgency and counterinsurgency. It is now being screened in the Pentagon for clues on how to defeat the current insurgency against the US forces in Iraq.
Come and watch the film and then stay for a discussion of the tactics and ethics of counter-insurgency.
