One More Brother

About This Movie

One More Brother is a striking documentary-drama that captures the raw and haunting reality of Algerian refugees during their exodus to Tunisia between 1957 and 1961. Jan Troell’s direction brings a gritty authenticity to the screen, using a documentary style that immerses you in the stark landscapes of mountains and deserts. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to absorb the heavy themes of displacement and survival. The performances, often unscripted, lend an organic feel that pulls you into their struggles and humanity. And the way they live in makeshift pits, devoid of any traditional shelter, really drives home the desperation of their situation, creating an atmosphere that's both somber and thought-provoking. It’s a film that stays with you long after viewing, echoing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
