I hope you enjoyed The Battle of Algiers as dark of a subject it may be. If you'd like to read an essay on it production history, click here. As I mentioned in class, some of you may be familiar with this track from The Clash: "Rock the Casbah." Check out this Wiki entry that tries to dissect how this song was inspired by the Casbah of Algiers. The song's not wholly political, but it's still interesting subject matter for being a hit single.
