English title: Days of Glory.
In World War II, a unit of French colonials fights first in Italy, then in Africa, and finally in Alsacia.
This film shows the discrimination against people of Arabic and Negro ethnicity both during the war and after it. As every film with an agenda, it's manipulative to some extent. Nevertheless, it is well made and its general point is a valid one. Some aspects of it are also present in Glory (1989); some battle sequences bear similarities with Saving Private Ryan (1998), according to some sources (I have seen that movie but don't remember it all that well).
