Inch'Allah Dimanche Directed by Yamina Benguigi, France, 2003, 98mins.

Sunday, July 23rd

 
Synopsis:

In the aftermath of World War II, France attempted to replenish its weakened work force by recruiting men from North Africa. In the mid-1970’s, the French government relaxed its immigration policy to allow the families of Algerian men to join them. Inch’Allah Dimanche provides us with a deeply moving memoir of the sense of isolation and vulnerability that the immigrant family experienced upon their arrival at a time when racial integration was virtually non-existent.
