Outside the Law

You lose the home you built in Algiers and the three brothers scatter: one enlists in Indochina, one leads protests in Paris, one hustles in Pigalle’s back rooms. The war for Algeria splits the family open. Bouchareb frames their fates against early-century Parisian neon and military brutality.
