Days of Glory, also known as Indigènes, is a 2006 war drama film directed by Rachid Bouchareb. The film depicts the experiences of four North African soldiers who enlist in the French Army to fight against the Nazi regime during World War II.
The four soldiers, Said (Jamel Debbouze), Abdelkader (Sami Bouajila), Messaoud (Roschdy Zem), and Yassir (Samy Naceri), come from different parts of North Africa, including Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. Despite their differences, they share a common desire to fight for their country's independence and to prove themselves as equal to their French counterparts.
The film shows the soldiers' experiences as they fight their way through Italy and France, facing discrimination and racism from their French officers. They also face danger and death in battle against the Nazi forces.
Days of Glory is a powerful commentary on the injustice and inequality faced by North African soldiers who fought for France during World War II. The film received critical acclaim and was awarded the Grand Prix at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.
