A trove of unseen archive of the Algerian independence war shot on 35mm film is uncovered in Belgrade. It was filmed by Stevan Labudovic, the cameraman of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito.

Labudovic spent three years filming Algeria’s independence war with unprecedented access. His images and journals inspire this little-known story of how Algeria's National Liberation Front (FLN) harnessed the power of cinema and media to diplomatically win a war they had been destined to lose. In the process they created a playbook for modern information battles, taking their struggle all the way to the heart of the international community – the United Nations.

Cine-Guerillas is a documentary film by Mila Turajilic.

The film is available on YouTube with Arabic and French closed captions.
