Paris, 1942. Younes, a young Algerian immigrant, survives by hawking goods on the black market. When German occupation forces crack down on recent immigrants, Younes is picked up and agrees to become an informant. As he delves deeper into the hidden dealings of the Great Mosque of Paris, meeting its charismatic rector and befriending an alluring Algerian singer, Younes discovers a world of devout men and women committed to resistance. Free Men tells the story of a barely literate immigrant worker’s transformation into a passionate freedom fighter. In a time of religious tension and valiant resistance across the Middle East, this film is a powerful reminder of the unifying potential of a long and arduous struggle to be free. - Rasha Salti, Toronto International Film Festival 2011
