The Star of Algiers

A young musician, Moussa, dreams of becoming the Michael Jackson of Algiers. All he has to offer is his talent and energy, taking his crazy dream on the road with his small band, initially playing at weddings then posh bars and nightclubs. He becomes Algier's new star, but he will soon come face to face with a barbaric, totalitarian form of Islam hijacked by new officials who want to ban him from singing.

Directed by Mohamed Rachid Benhadj
