In his lifetime, Saadi Yacef has been many things: a freedom fighter; a prisoner; a memoirist; a senator; and a film producer.  As the military leader of the National Liberation Front in Algiers, Yacef was a key actor in one of the bloodiest decolonization wars of the 20th century and his memoir was adapted into the iconic 1966 film The Battle of Algiers. LSP recently interviewed Yacef at the Film Forum in New York.
