Algeria: Women at War

Synopsis
Looks at the key role Algerian women played in the algerian War of Independence from the French some 30 years ago. Veteran fighters talk about their work in the revolution, many for the first time, and their daughters discuss the status of women after 30 years of single party rule, the rise of Islam and increasing political violence.
