Shadows of Freedom is a feature length documentary on the Jewish resistance of 1942 in Algiers. This resistance movement – which also identified strongly as French – had a significant impact on the war, yet remains virtually unknown. It was part of the 1st Allied collaboration of WWII called “Operation Torch”, which has also been largely forgotten. Led mainly by 22-year old medical student José Aboulker, these young and inexperienced resistors greatly helped the Allied landing in North Africa. It is a story about ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and in the process, helping to change the course of the war.
