"Free Men" by Ismael Ferroukhi (Morocco/France, 2011, 99 min) - Alwan Film Festival 2013
The Nazi occupation of France unites a resistance fighting against a common enemy in this historical drama inspired by actual incidents. Younes arrives in France from Algeria in search of a better life, but after landing a good job in a factory, the political turmoil sweeping through Europe with the rise of the Third Reich leaves him with few options beyond hustling on the black market. His cousin Ali is a labor activist who, after the rise of the Vichy government, begins working with the French resistance. When Younes is captured by the police, while selling unlicensed goods, he's given a choice -- he can go to jail or act as a spy, keeping the authorities posted on the activities at a local mosque.
