This film has been praised for showing a side of WWII barely touched upon.  Four North African soldiers enlist to fight for their motherland, France.  Glory seeks recognition for men who were treated as second class citizens during and after their service.

Some Members' Comments:

...this film's ability to transport so engrossibgly into the lives of others.
Nothing changes
This film had everything;  a great story line, brilliant photography, emotion and poignancy.
Clever use of the old stills photos to change location. Wonderful acting.
A really good story that deserves to be told.
Not my style, but gripping (some continuity slips!)
We probably all ought to be ashamed.
World never changes.
Very moving.
Good to see their side of the story.
Overlong - the message got through early on.
