Cinema Politica invites you to a 50th anniversary screening of 1966’s The Battle of Algiers by Italian director Gillo Pontecorvo, a seminal cinema verité-style film that takes a look at guerrilla anti-colonial struggles in 1950’s Algeria against the French government. 1455 de Maisonneuve W., H-110, 7 p.m., $5–$10 PWYC
