Despite the fact that the four young Arabs around whom the story centres have, in effect, been called up by one colonial oppressor to fight another, they say goodbye to their families in Algeria, Morocco and Senegal and willingly step forward to take up their arms. But all find themselves shockingly discriminated against by bigots within the French army, and deprived of the few rights and privileges to which new recruits are entitled. Bouchareb's powerful and persuasive film was instrumental in French prime minister Jacques Chirac's decision to compensate all North Africans who fought in World War II by unfreezing their pensions.<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray</i>

Two strangers - Guernsey widow Elisabeth (Brenda Blethyn) and French-African Muslim Ousmane (Sotigui Kouyate) - travel to North London to find their children, both of whom have been missing since the bombings. After trying in vain to telephone her daughter Jane, Elisabeth heads to London to look for her, while Ousmane has been sent by his estranged wife to hunt for his son, Ali -a quest complicated by the fact that he only speaks French and has not seen his son since he was six years old. After the two meet at the flat shared by their missing children, they continue their quest together, and develop a tentative connection as they struggle to come to terms with the encroaching truth.<br/><br/><i>Typ: DVD</i>
