| I'm just back from seeing Days of Glory (the English title for the French film Indigenes), which is about North African troops serving in the French army in 1943-5. it's an excellent film; parts of it resemble Saving Private Ryan but I think that this may be a deliberate ploy to contrast the treatment of Private Ryan with that of the North Africans. The film persuaded President Chirac to reverse a decision not to freeze the pensions of French colonial veterans when their countries were given independence.
