CLEAN:Festival contender exposes France's Algerian tensions

One of the most eagerly-awaited home films in this year's Cannes film festival is Rachid Bouchareb's Hors la Loi (Outside of the Law). An epic crime thriller about the experience of French Algerians, it ranges from Paris brothels to the jungles of Southeast Asia and the deserts of North Africa. The film has drawn criticism from former volunteers during the Algerian War, including the 'harkis' who fought on the French side. A commemoration ceremony for victims of the Algerian war has been held on Friday -- to coincide with the film's Cannes premiere. Cannes France (Footage by AFPTV via Getty Images)
