00:02:23 >> In this, our 20th century, almost every nation in the world has at some time been
00:02:28 in conflict.
00:02:29 The oppressors and the oppressed, the victors and the vanquished.
00:02:33 The people of war, a tragic indictment of our civilization.
00:02:39 A time when much of the world was looking for ways to increase their influence,
00:02:44 and riches.
00:02:45 Full of dreams for the restoration of the glory that was Rome, in 1911,
00:02:50 Italy joins the hunt for territory.
00:02:53 Libya, on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, is the target.
00:02:58 Landings were made at Tripoli, Benghazi, Zwara, Sirte, Derna and Tobruk.
00:03:07 [MUSIC]
00:03:14 The local population, fighting on many fronts, made fierce and resolute resistance to the invaders.
00:03:20 Thus, bringing the war to a stalemate.
00:03:23 1922 saw a dramatic change in Italy.
00:03:27 [MUSIC]
00:03:30 The beginning of Mussolini's era of dictatorship.
00:03:34 [MUSIC]
00:03:36 The conflict in Libya escalated, as more and more fascist might was thrown
00:03:41 against the stiffening resistance of the local population.
00:03:45 We will overrun the earth, and then we will take the flag of fascism to the sky!
00:03:56 [MUSIC]
00:04:04 [GUNSHOT]
00:04:05 [SHOUTING IN ITALIAN]
00:04:27 [GUNSHOT]
00:04:29 More, and more. I don't understand.
00:04:33 If we defeated the Bedouins, why are we still hanging them?
00:04:40 Why do I have to pour troops into a victory I've already won?
00:04:45 [GASP]
00:04:47 Oh, I wish my generals would write two different dispatches.
00:04:51 One telling themselves of their glorious victories, and one telling me of their defeats.
00:05:00 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:05:09 It can't go on. I will not let it go on!
00:05:15 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:05:18 There! This green. This fertile green.
00:05:30 There's your prize. The rest is brown paper.
00:05:36 Just need someone bold enough to roll it up.
00:05:41 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:05:57 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
00:06:00 Come with me.
00:06:02 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:06:09 [GUNSHOT]
00:06:11 [SHOUTING IN ITALIAN]
00:06:13 [GUNSHOT]
00:06:14 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:06:16 Twenty years.
00:06:18 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:06:21 Twenty fruitless years we've wasted on this war.
00:06:24 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:06:26 I sent five governors to Libya in five years.
00:06:32 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:06:36 No!
00:06:39 Now the military logic of fascism will not be compromised!
00:06:43 [MUSIC]
00:06:54 After all, what are we? We are the bayonets of a new dawn.
00:07:00 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:07:03 What are we fighting? Reality. Desert tribesmen. Ghosts.
00:07:07 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:07:10 I want their leader brought here. I want him brought to me. I want the revolution crushed.
00:07:15 What's his name?
00:07:16 Omar Mukhtar.
00:07:19 What?
00:07:20 Omar Mukhtar.
00:07:24 Omar Mukhtar.
00:07:26 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:07:46 [GUNSHOT]
00:07:48 [GUNSHOT]
00:07:50 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:07:57 You know, General, those colonists that we sent over, peasants from the south,
00:08:06 they cost us lira for lira, almost as much as if we put them up at the Grand Hotel.
00:08:11 Now something must be wrong.
00:08:14 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:08:20 No.
00:08:24 I will not have a handful of Bedouins stop the progress of 40 million Italians.
00:08:31 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:08:36 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:08:57 I give you Libya, General.
00:09:02 At least you have a name that will frighten them.
00:09:05 May I say, my Duce, that when I crush rebellion, I do so with a clear conscience.
00:09:14 What did Mukhtar do before the rebellion?
00:09:18 He was a teacher, Duce.
00:09:20 A teacher?
00:09:21 Yes.
00:09:22 I was a teacher.
00:09:24 Be careful you don't end up as the five who went before you, taught by him.
00:09:30 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:09:35 Well, I'm a man who likes action.
00:09:40 Go to Libya.
00:09:42 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:09:50 General.
00:09:52 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:09:55 Bring me back Mukhtar.
00:09:57 [FOOTSTEPS]
00:10:00 Bribe him or break his neck.
00:10:04 [CHANTING]
00:10:33 In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful.
00:10:36 It is the God of mercy who has made known the Koran.
00:10:39 He created man and taught him speech.
00:10:42 He set the sun and the moon in their courses.
00:10:45 He raised the sky up and set the balance of all things.
00:10:48 Stop right there.
00:10:51 Why do you think we begin every chapter of the Koran with God, the merciful?
00:10:59 Yes?
00:11:00 Because one of the names of God is mercy.
00:11:04 That's right, yes.
00:11:06 And how does God show his mercy?
00:11:12 He taught people how to speak.
00:11:15 How to speak, that's right.
00:11:17 Yes.
00:11:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:11:22 There was something else in what we read.
00:11:27 Could anybody-- can you tell me what that was?
00:11:32 It was--
00:11:34 No.
00:11:35 Here, let me give you a hint.
00:11:38 It was what?
00:11:39 It was the balance.
00:11:41 That's right, that's right.
00:11:42 The balance.
00:11:43 And why did God set that balance?
00:11:50 Boys.
00:11:52 Boys.
00:11:53 Why did God set the balance?
00:11:57 Huh?
00:11:58 Because without the balance, everything would fall.
00:12:03 No.
00:12:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:12:09 Well, let me see what you read.
00:12:13 Yes.

00:12:26 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:12:30 [YELLING]
00:12:35 Well, everything did fall apart, huh?
00:12:40 What are you waiting for?
00:12:42 On.

00:12:52 Take it to your father.

00:15:37 Yes, Pumatani.
00:15:39 What is the news?
00:15:40 A new governor.
00:15:42 Again, huh?
00:15:43 [CHUCKLING]
00:15:44 They always come in like--
00:15:46 like lions, and go home like worn-out coats.
00:15:50 Well, who is it this time?
00:15:54 Graziani, the butcher of Fasan.
00:15:57 Graziani?
00:15:58 It was only a question of time before they
00:16:00 let him loose on us.
00:16:01 It will mean a new offensive.
00:16:05 My father used to say, blows that don't break your back,
00:16:12 strengthen it.
00:16:13 We will show Graziani some spine.
00:16:19 They tell me Graziani loves blood.
00:16:37 I don't like to believe those stories.
00:16:42 And yet I do.
00:16:46 When is he expected?
00:16:48 They're decorating Benghazi for him.
00:16:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:17:04 [HUMMING]
00:17:08 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:17:37 Signore, signori, His Excellency General Graziani,
00:17:42 Governor of Cyrenaica.
00:17:44 His Royal Highness, Prince Amadeo Duke Fausta.

00:19:12 [SPEAKING ITALIAN]
00:19:20 [APPLAUSE]
00:19:26 Gentlemen, thank you.
00:19:28 But the ladies are present.
00:19:30 We should be at our ease.
00:19:32 Let the dancing continue.
00:19:35 General, call of Elsa Arsani.
00:19:41 Signore, Tomei.
00:19:42 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:19:57 Diudice, here in Benghazi.
00:20:01 The sun turns the rest of us black in the desert,
00:20:04 but it seems to be turning you white.
00:20:07 I came to talk to him.
00:20:09 A drink first.
00:20:10 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:20:16 If Europe knew what we do here, if even Italy knew.
00:20:23 But here in Libya, we photograph everything.
00:20:26 We're never without a snap, you know.
00:20:29 You mustn't tell me too much.
00:20:31 Even to tell you we are not abiding
00:20:33 by the Geneva Convention?
00:20:34 Colonel, don't, please.
00:20:36 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:20:43 Colonel Diudice, sir.
00:20:45 Ah, yes.
00:20:47 Diudice.
00:20:49 I read reports on you.
00:20:51 They say that you could make friends with the Bedouin
00:20:53 with a handshake.
00:20:55 I'm not so sure that I like that.
00:20:56 It implies that the rest of us must strangle them
00:20:58 in order to make peace with them.
00:21:00 Sir, there are 5,000 displaced Bedouin outside my forts.
00:21:08 I have no food for them.
00:21:10 I have difficulty in controlling them.
00:21:13 And I need--
00:21:14 What you need, Colonel.
00:21:16 What you need.
00:21:18 It's a little bit more than that, Colonel.
00:21:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:21:23 Who is that man?
00:21:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:21:27 Sheriff El-Ghoyany.
00:21:30 He's quite useful to us.
00:21:32 Old friend of Omar Muhtar.
00:21:34 Useful, you say?
00:21:38 Yes, sir.
00:21:41 Bring him here.
00:21:42 I think you'll find that you can rely on him.
00:21:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:21:51 General Gauthier, may I present His Excellency
00:22:03 Sheriff El-Ghoyany.
00:22:06 I understand that you know Omar Muhtar.
00:22:09 I did.
00:22:10 What would it take to get him to surrender?
00:22:17 I don't know.
00:22:19 Even as a boy, he was terribly stubborn.
00:22:22 But if I could be of help in any way,
00:22:26 I should be very willing to agree.
00:22:30 You'll find that we can be terribly generous.
00:22:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:22:36 Lieutenant Chignieri, urgent message, sir.
00:22:45 I can't wait to see you disturbing my guests.
00:22:48 Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:22:52 They said that Flaminus lost Trasimeno
00:22:54 while sleeping on his dispatches.
00:22:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:22:59 What is this?
00:23:04 Another wasted maneuver?
00:23:06 Hm?
00:23:08 How many dead, Lieutenants?
00:23:09 20 dead, 50 wounded, sir.
00:23:12 And they let him go again?
00:23:14 Yes, but this time he was seen.
00:23:16 He was seen?
00:23:18 How do they know he was seen?
00:23:19 Nobody knows him.
00:23:20 How do they know he was seen?
00:23:22 It was only for a moment, sir.
00:23:24 But they are sure.
00:23:25 It was Muhtar.
00:23:28 I suppose I should decorate them just for the bravery
00:23:30 of seeing Muhtar.
00:23:31 There could be, there could be, could be anywhere.
00:23:37 Hm?
00:23:41 Demani, I want you to use a fast, hard-hitting force,
00:23:45 and you forget what Omar Muhtar looks like.
00:23:48 We're all obsessed by never having seen him.
00:23:51 Go for his blood, go for his circulation,
00:23:54 go for the revolution that's inside every Bedouin.
00:23:56 Muhtar's men fight in turns.
00:24:04 Three months they run with him.
00:24:07 The next three months they are peaceful at home.
00:24:09 Goodbye.
00:24:11 No peace.

00:26:00 And, and, and, the two at the back.
00:26:05 And, and, and.
00:26:11 Yes.
00:26:16 That young girl.
00:26:19 Definitely.
00:26:20 Hm?
00:26:21 [LAUGHTER]
00:26:29 Some of you are conscripted.
00:26:32 Instead of going three months with Mukhtar,
00:26:37 you go one year to useful labor, where you'll be out of trouble.
00:26:44 Hm?
00:26:45 [SPEAKING PASHTO]
00:26:57 Burn the half they give to Mukhtar.
00:27:01 Burn half of everything.

00:27:45 He's a bully goon, sir.
00:27:48 You were shot running with Mukhtar, weren't you?
00:27:52 What have you to say?
00:27:58 Hm?
00:27:59 What have you to say?
00:28:05 [GROANING]
00:28:06 Oh, you do?
00:28:13 Well, you brought it on yourself.
00:28:16 Execute him.
00:28:19 Not, not over there.
00:28:22 Here.
00:28:23 Let them see it.
00:28:25 In the name of God, give him time to pray.
00:28:28 You are warned.
00:28:37 Be careful.

00:31:47 I'm going to see your mother.
00:31:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:31:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:31:54 Too young.
00:31:56 It's not your turn yet.
00:31:59 I became old enough today, mother.

00:33:37 That is our ground.
00:33:39 [Sound of wind]
00:33:42 Out there.
00:33:43 [Sound of walking]
00:33:46 That is it.
00:33:48 But you can't hide a lizard out there.
00:33:50 [Sound of walking]
00:33:52 [Sound of water]

00:35:13 It's all clear, sir.
00:35:15 [Sound of walking]
00:35:27 Check the other side.
00:35:29 [Sound of car driving away]
00:35:50 [Sound of car driving away]
00:36:11 The others.
00:36:14 Sir, at last we've got them.
00:36:16 Where do we want them?
00:36:17 They've cracked some of them.
00:36:18 In the open.
00:36:19 Sir.
00:36:20 Encore!

00:37:29 They are heading!
00:37:31 Get your foot down!
00:37:33 [Sound of car driving away]
00:37:48 [Sound of gunshot]
00:37:49 We are in a trap!
00:37:50 We must swarm too many!
00:37:52 [Sound of gunshots]
00:37:57 Do you hear that?
00:37:58 That would be Lieutenant Santrini, sir.
00:38:03 [Sound of gunshots]
00:38:09 What the hell is he doing?
00:38:11 Maybe warning shots, sir.
00:38:15 No, stop!
00:38:17 Stop!
00:38:23 [Sound of gunshots]
00:38:27 Centurione, do you see anything?
00:38:29 No, nothing, sir.
00:38:32 Nothing?
00:38:36 They are getting away.
00:38:37 We have them in our hands.
00:38:40 [Speaking Italian]

00:40:31 Look at those machines.
00:40:33 [Sound of gunshots]
00:40:47 We do not kill prisoners.
00:40:49 They do it to us.
00:40:51 They are not our teachers.
00:40:58 He is a boy.
00:41:15 Here.
00:41:17 Tell your general it does not belong here.
00:41:46 [Sound of gunshots]

00:44:03 [Sound of gunshots]
00:44:21 My husband.
00:44:29 I brought his book home.
00:44:39 Never turn his back on me.
00:44:51 Come here.
00:44:54 What is your name?
00:44:56 Ali.
00:44:57 Oh, yes.
00:44:59 Ali.
00:45:00 This is yours.
00:45:02 This is your book.
00:45:06 You tell your mother to keep it for you.
00:45:35 [Music]
00:45:44 Do not let him see you crying too much.
00:45:48 One day they will carry on the fight.
00:45:51 The children should remember strong and confident.
00:45:58 Never broken.
00:46:02 Let's go see the camp.
00:46:06 [Music]
00:46:29 This is my friend, Ali.
00:46:33 This is my daddy.
00:46:36 He has a little boy just like you.
00:46:38 He is in Kufa.
00:46:39 That is far away in the desert.
00:46:42 He misses you.
00:46:44 Now, we have some work to do.
00:46:47 To carry on.
00:46:53 Be careful.
00:46:56 Oh, is this supposed to be me?
00:46:59 How do I look?
00:47:01 [Laughter]
00:47:04 You have to give it back to me.
00:47:05 Otherwise, I cannot read.
00:47:07 You go.
00:47:08 You go and see that the people work.
00:47:10 [Music]
00:47:27 Wiped out.
00:47:29 One lieutenant and one scout car.
00:47:34 That is all that is left of a fighting force.
00:47:37 I did not come to Libya to be stung by bandits.
00:47:42 Senor Etimali was one of our finest officers.
00:47:48 At least the young boy has saved our honor.
00:47:52 He brought back the flag.
00:47:53 But sir, they gave us the flag.
00:47:54 Yes, yes, yes, you will be decorated the medal of honor.
00:48:00 I have never in my career lost a flag.
00:48:04 Gentlemen, I will repeat one simple fact to you.
00:48:07 We are not merely fighting Mokhtar and 200 of his men here or 50 of his men there.
00:48:11 We are fighting a population.
00:48:14 I have grown to answer to him.
00:48:18 I am therefore taking the first of three final steps, strides, to eliminate rebellion in this colony.
00:48:26 It is really quite simple and should have been thought of before.
00:48:30 I propose to concentrate the Bedouin.
00:48:34 Concentrate them?
00:48:35 Yes, put them behind wire in camps and keep them there until we find it prudent or safe to release them.
00:48:43 Now I do not want any pity for them.
00:48:46 They have brought it upon themselves.
00:48:49 We will fill their wells.
00:48:51 We will burn their fields.
00:48:53 We will destroy their trees.
00:48:55 We will turn their land brown.
00:48:57 Now if they cannot live in it, they will leave it.
00:49:00 And if you meet a resistance, you answer it promptly with the old Roman punishment for rebellion, decimation.
00:49:09 It is ridiculous to think that we can fight this war kindly.
00:49:12 We, we cannot.
00:49:15 We can fight it thoroughly.
00:49:19 We place half a million people behind barbed wire.
00:49:22 It is a formidable and majestic undertaking.
00:49:28 But we will do it.
00:49:31 Are there any questions?
00:49:33 General, Bedouin die in cages.
00:49:37 That is an answer, Highness, not a question.
00:49:42 But, sir, won't we, won't we be making more rebellion?
00:49:46 Not weeding it out?
00:49:47 Gentlemen, if we are to bring the Bedouin to any sense of obedience, we must first let the lava flow.
00:49:56 [Loud thunder]
00:49:59 [Speaking in Italian]
00:50:02 [Speaking in Italian]
00:50:09 [Speaking in Italian]
00:50:16 [Speaking in Italian]
00:50:19 [Horses galloping]
00:50:22 Turn round.
00:50:27 As mutineers and rebels, you will be decimated.
00:50:36 [Horses galloping]
00:50:39 One, two, three.
00:50:57 Five, six, seven, nine, ten.

00:54:06 Not against armies, but against innocent people.
00:54:11 All people will be dying in those camps and come out.
00:54:16 People will be dying without fault, without choice.
00:54:23 Or is it our fault?
00:54:28 And our choice?

01:01:10 [Sigh]
01:01:27 So you're the brave young man.
01:01:30 The brave young man who saved Mokuta from me.
01:01:34 Why did you do it?
01:01:44 You're young.
01:01:46 You've got your whole life ahead of you.
01:01:49 Tell me.
01:01:53 Don't you want to live?
01:01:55 Come on.
01:01:57 I want him to live more.
01:02:00 You'd make a fine soldier.
01:02:03 Would you think of joining us?
01:02:06 You're more ruthless than I am, Prince.
01:02:09 You'd corrupt him.
01:02:12 [Sigh]
01:02:16 Get him out of here.
01:02:18 Give him what he asks for. Fruit, honey, whatever.
01:02:22 And don't harm him. Hang him in the morning.
01:02:26 Does it ever worry you, General,
01:02:38 that in our most casual acts, we make history here?
01:02:42 Even if it's just a small paragraph in a newspaper in Rome?
01:02:47 You touch my strength, Prince.
01:02:51 You see, I don't care.
01:02:53 A day in the mind of Rome is more important to me
01:02:57 than a generation in the memory of Libya.
01:03:01 Then what happens, I wonder, if we're forgotten in Rome
01:03:08 and only remembered in Libya?
01:03:11 Oh, don't you worry your royal head about that.
01:03:14 You see, we'll write the history.
01:03:18 Libya is our crown of thorns.
01:03:21 Nonsense.
01:03:24 [Chuckles]
01:03:26 Libya is a career.
01:03:30 Look at it.
01:03:32 [Exhales] Look at it.
01:03:38 It's always the same.
01:03:45 We can never pursue them in the desert.
01:03:48 I must conquer the desert to march on Kufra.
01:03:51 From here...
01:03:53 to here.
01:03:56 Simple, isn't it?
01:03:59 No, it's not.
01:04:01 But it's only empty desert.
01:04:04 There's nothing there. Just wind and sand.
01:04:08 Not even much opposition.
01:04:11 What can you get from it?
01:04:13 Glory for Rome.
01:04:15 An extension of the empire,
01:04:18 confining a revolution to that mountain.
01:04:21 My name...
01:04:24 and a new page in military history.
01:04:27 So you see, it's quite full, that desert of yours, isn't it, Prince?
01:04:31 [Knock at door]
01:04:33 I have a surprise for you.
01:04:37 Come in!
01:04:40 [Footsteps approach]
01:04:42 Dearly.
01:04:48 Now is your time. Please, sit down.
01:04:51 Thank you.
01:04:53 The man who can make peace with a handshake.
01:04:58 [Handshake]
01:05:00 Do it now.
01:05:03 Hands across the desert.
01:05:07 I wish you to instigate peace talks with His Excellency.
01:05:11 [Chuckles]
01:05:13 Omar Muqtar.
01:05:17 That will not be so easy now.
01:05:24 No, but you will do it, won't you?
01:05:26 And what are the preconditions for talks with Omar Muqtar?
01:05:30 Um... [Chuckles]
01:05:33 No preconditions. The whole of Libya is open to discussion.
01:05:36 Look at him. [Chuckles]
01:05:38 Look at him.
01:05:40 We go to the conference table with an open mind, do we not?
01:05:44 He fought us for 20 years.
01:05:48 We are an enemy, he knows.
01:05:51 He has served all our promises.
01:05:54 20 years is too long.
01:05:56 I mean, can you imagine escaping hanging for 20 years,
01:05:59 knowing you can't win, just hoping to keep on?
01:06:02 So war is hope.
01:06:04 The man will be mad to get on his high horse about past promises.
01:06:08 When may I, in Your Excellency's name, sit down with him?
01:06:14 You're too eager.
01:06:18 When you talk to Omar Muqtar,
01:06:20 it must be with a speed of dictation.
01:06:23 Like Russell.
01:06:25 Whether he wants to talk or not, you test him, you try him.
01:06:31 Yes.
01:06:33 I will try him. Thank you very much.
01:06:37 Thank you for coming at such short notice. It was very kind of you.
01:06:41 Thank you.
01:06:48 Phew.
01:06:54 Well, that's settled, isn't it?
01:06:57 Diodatis is not the right man.
01:07:00 He'll offer what Muqtar can't take,
01:07:03 and Muqtar will ask what he can't give.
01:07:06 Which makes me think you want things to go wrong.
01:07:11 No.
01:07:18 No, no, that's unfair. Of course I want peace.
01:07:20 Of course I want to win that peace.
01:07:24 But sometimes, Prince, when you're strong,
01:07:27 peace takes on the nature of conquest, does it not?
01:07:30 He won't give me peace.
01:07:34 What he'll give me is time.
01:07:37 And what I need is time.
01:07:39 And what I need is time.
01:07:42 [Hooves clopping]
01:07:45 [Hooves clopping]
01:07:48 [Hooves clopping]
01:07:51 [Hooves clopping]
01:08:18 So that's what he looks like.
01:08:21 After all these years, we are the first to see him.
01:08:26 The old lion.
01:08:33 [Speaking Arabic]
01:08:45 -Can you give this here? -Yes, sir.
01:08:48 Please.
01:08:53 This side.
01:09:00 [Speaking Arabic]
01:09:03 Colonel Barillo, military governor of Merch,
01:09:21 this is Commissioner Lobito,
01:09:24 who has come directly from Rome
01:09:27 to advise and assist us.
01:09:30 Well...
01:09:34 you invited us here to talk.
01:09:37 We are here.
01:09:40 Your Excellency,
01:09:43 it is my one wish
01:09:46 to see the Italian and the Arab together in a single interest.
01:09:51 I foresee a future of common cause.
01:09:56 A give and take of character and skill.
01:10:00 Our civilization and your culture,
01:10:05 a marriage of virtues.
01:10:08 I want observers from the governments of Tunisia and Egypt
01:10:13 to witness any agreements between us.
01:10:16 -As far as I'm concerned... -Out of the question.
01:10:20 He is seeking international recognition
01:10:23 as if the Bedouins were an independent nation, which they are not.
01:10:27 They are subjects within our province.
01:10:30 Our arguments are not between nations, but between Italians.
01:10:34 We cannot permit outside interference in our internal affairs.
01:10:39 Then why misrepresent us?
01:10:42 We are not Italians who do not tell us that we are.
01:10:45 We were born where we were born, only by the will of God,
01:10:49 and only by our own mothers. We are not you.
01:10:53 We will come to foreign observers later.
01:10:56 As yet, there is nothing written, nothing to witness.
01:11:00 But we have written.
01:11:05 [FOOTSTEPS]
01:11:07 We must have our Muslim schools.
01:11:22 Oh, yes. No question.
01:11:25 Freedom of education. No question.
01:11:29 The schools will be reopened.
01:11:33 We must have some form of national protection.
01:11:37 We must have a national parliament.
01:11:41 A parliament is a matter for Rome. This tent is not the place.
01:11:45 Why not? You pitched it. No conditions, you said.
01:11:48 No limits, no exclusions. Everything open on this table, in this tent.
01:11:53 Let us say that, at present,
01:11:56 we will note your demand for a parliament.
01:11:59 Mark it well.
01:12:02 [PAPER RUSTLING]
01:12:05 The confiscated lands must be given back.
01:12:13 Well, now I wouldn't say confiscated lands.
01:12:20 I would say lands reserved for settlement and cultivation.
01:12:25 Lands to be developed.
01:12:28 To be developed by Italians.
01:12:31 I tell you, there is no escape.
01:12:34 Twenty years, forty years, the land will be back to its people.
01:12:39 Why do you think we fight you?
01:12:42 But the new settlements will provide employment.
01:12:46 As long as you take our lands.
01:12:49 For as long as we're able, we must fight you.
01:12:52 - Must? - Yes, we must.
01:12:54 But I have it on religious authority
01:12:57 that your Koran does not permit you to fight a war you cannot win.
01:13:02 Now you are going to interpret our religion for us.
01:13:06 The book leaves no doubt. It is our duty to God
01:13:10 to defend ourselves against those who have driven us out of our homes.
01:13:16 I think this might be a good time to adjourn.
01:13:20 We are in no hurry.
01:13:25 Why are you delaying?
01:13:28 Your Excellency, we are obliged to refer your demands to Rome.
01:13:35 At our next meeting, we will give you their answer and make our proposal.
01:13:40 At least, at least we know that we all want the bloodshed between us to end.

01:15:26 What we needed was time.

01:15:33 We can talk peace...

01:15:38 One, the Marmuchtarsmen will come under the command of Italian officers.
01:15:44 Go on.
01:15:45 Two, the Italian government will pay monthly salaries to these men.
01:15:51 Go on.
01:15:52 Go on.
01:15:54 The government reserves the right to punish any persons who committed a crime before this agreement.
01:16:03 A Marmuchtar will have no right to protect such persons.
01:16:07 Four, these terms mean dishonor.
01:16:10 Absolute surrender.
01:16:12 Not even subjects for discussion.
01:16:15 The Italian government undertakes to pay a Marmuchtar a pension of 50,000 lire a month...
01:16:22 and to provide him with a comfortable house.
01:16:25 Do I deserve so much?
01:16:28 Have I been so successful for someone to offer me 50,000 lire a month?
01:16:35 You know, by offering me bribes...
01:16:39 you are insulting me.
01:16:41 Your Excellency...
01:16:43 I made that proposal.
01:16:46 Believe me.
01:16:48 It was not an attempt to bribe you.
01:16:52 Only to make your retirement comfortable.
01:16:57 How can I be comfortable when my people are in concentration camps?
01:17:01 And where is this general who bombs and burns and hangs?
01:17:05 Why has he never come here?
01:17:07 When terms are agreed between us, General Graziani will be happy to see you.
01:17:12 I do not want to see him.
01:17:15 I want to see the last of him.
01:17:18 And why is he landing troops?
01:17:21 Where is he going?
01:17:23 To the last oasis?
01:17:25 Six thousand drums of water.
01:17:29 He is going to...
01:17:35 Cufra.
01:17:40 You never wanted peace.
01:17:43 All you wanted was time.
01:17:46 You will be with Graziani.
01:17:50 If you will not come to terms, I promise you immediate and terrible war.
01:17:55 Oh, I know the power of your government.
01:17:58 The power you threaten us with.
01:18:01 We've stood against you for 20 years.
01:18:04 And with the help of God...
01:18:07 we will stay with you until your end.
01:18:10 I knew his conclusion.
01:18:17 Poor Fords.
01:18:33 They think they can ride against a modern army.

01:19:52 Thousands of soldiers and machines.
01:19:56 All going to Cufra.
01:19:58 Graziani is doing what no one has ever done.
01:20:01 He's putting tanks in the desert.
01:20:04 The time is on our side.
01:20:07 But Graziani is marching south.
01:20:10 To Cufra. We attack the north.
01:20:13 We draw him back.
01:20:15 But we must fight him for Cufra.
01:20:17 Sometimes it is braver not to die.
01:20:20 What is lost, can't be lost.
01:20:23 We know your family is there.
01:20:26 But to defend Cufra is to die there.
01:20:30 (Music)

01:32:28 The seizure of Kufra has hurt us deeply.
01:32:45 It has closed the south.
01:32:50 The only road for military supplies...
01:32:54 is across the Egyptian border.
01:32:57 We are in desperate need of supplies.
01:33:03 Food.
01:33:05 Three Italian cars coming up the merge road.
01:33:07 How many?
01:33:08 Three.
01:33:09 They're flying white flags.
01:33:11 Let them in.
01:33:14 We will finish later.
01:33:20 (Engine starts)
01:33:23 Sheriff...
01:33:46 Elgariani.
01:33:49 To come through, we had to use the Italian cars.
01:33:55 And you found them comfortable?
01:33:58 We want to talk to you alone.
01:34:01 What we have to say cannot be said in public.
01:34:04 Then it is not to be said to me.
01:34:07 Omar, why do you not surrender?
01:34:11 Obtain the best terms you can from the Italians.
01:34:15 Mohammed Reda can arrange a safe contact for you out of the country.
01:34:19 Safe contact?
01:34:21 Where to?
01:34:22 Egypt.
01:34:23 Ah, to Egypt.
01:34:25 To hide with his brother.
01:34:27 You are the only Sanusi left in this country.
01:34:30 And look at you.
01:34:32 Just...
01:34:34 Just look at him.
01:34:37 But my people have fought.
01:34:41 To defend your own privileges.
01:34:44 Where are you now?
01:34:45 Omar Mukhtar...
01:34:47 The Italians assured us.
01:34:49 You'd better get back to them.
01:34:51 My friend, they are the government of this country.
01:34:54 No.
01:34:55 They take this land by day, but by God, we take it back by night.
01:34:59 Omar Mukhtar, you are alone.
01:35:02 Cut off from the rest of this country.
01:35:04 Isolated from the rest of the world.
01:35:07 In the League of Nations...
01:35:10 They will not speak.
01:35:12 And if they should, they will not listen.
01:35:15 No one will care.
01:35:17 This battle is not being fought in the League of Nations.
01:35:20 This battle is being fought here.
01:35:23 On this land.
01:35:25 Omar, you cannot win this war.
01:35:27 Your blood against their metal.
01:35:30 Every man has two days.
01:35:32 His own day and his children's day.
01:35:34 Your children are starving.
01:35:36 Dying in the concentration camps.
01:35:38 Dying because you persist in fighting.
01:35:41 Yes. Yes.
01:35:42 They are hostages of war.
01:35:45 But not one of them betrays me.
01:35:47 Not one has asked me to surrender.
01:35:49 Because they know, and I know, that if I surrender, I betray them.
01:35:54 Omar, we grew up together.
01:35:57 Don't you remember 70 years ago, we were boys together?
01:36:00 Yes.
01:36:02 Yes, I remember.
01:36:04 Look how far apart we have grown.
01:36:07 This may be the last chance you have...
01:36:10 of seeking an honorable peace.
01:36:13 They steal our land.
01:36:16 They destroy our homes.
01:36:18 They kill innocent people, and you call it peace.
01:36:22 I will not be corrupted by that man's peace.
01:36:26 Perhaps we should go.
01:36:31 Yes, I think you should.
01:36:33 Yes, you should.

01:45:07 So you're admitting your guilt.

01:46:42 you will have the privilege of giving the order
01:46:44 for the execution.
01:46:45 - No!
01:46:46 - What did you say?
01:46:51 You will do your duty, Lieutenant.
01:46:54 - I did not join the army to hang women, sir.
01:47:00 - Very well.
01:47:01 Capo Manipolo!
01:47:02 Lieutenant Sandrini, you will consider yourself
01:47:06 under arrest.
01:47:07 (grunting)
01:47:28 (screaming)
01:47:36 (crowd murmuring)
01:47:39 - Thank you, God, for the lives you have given us.

01:47:55 (screaming)
01:48:04 (crowd murmuring)
01:48:07 - What am I to do?
01:48:16 You refused your duty.
01:48:18 Insubordination is a very serious offense.
01:48:22 When your officers start to cry conscience,
01:48:27 you don't know where it'll end, do you?
01:48:29 - I'm prepared to answer to a court-martial, sir.
01:48:32 - Indeed.
01:48:33 And I'm not prepared to lose one of my colony's new heroes,
01:48:43 the hero I created.
01:48:45 I will not give you the pleasure
01:48:47 or the publicity of a court-martial, Sandrini.
01:48:49 As an officer, you were taught to obey,
01:48:53 not to question orders.
01:48:55 - Yes, sir, but--
01:48:56 - Do not dispute with me!
01:48:57 (silence)
01:48:59 The state has needs that outweigh
01:49:05 the conscience of the individual,
01:49:07 demands that go beyond individual intelligence,
01:49:10 then, should we?
01:49:11 - Yes, sir.
01:49:14 - You will report to Sarsani for duty in the mountains.
01:49:17 I will give you the honor of going on active service.

01:50:28 Salem, take care of the tanks.
01:50:42 I'll drop the benzine.
01:50:43 (gunshots)
01:50:46 - The old man has these mountains, and he uses them.
01:51:12 Last night proved that.
01:51:13 Now, beyond this mountain range,
01:51:17 there is a plateau upon which instinct,
01:51:19 instinct tells us that tanks can't operate.
01:51:22 Now, that is not true.
01:51:24 It will be difficult, yes, but it will,
01:51:27 it will be decisive.
01:51:28 Now, we control the approach roads here,
01:51:31 here, and here.
01:51:32 These are tank roads now.
01:51:33 Use them, will you?
01:51:34 - Sir-- - Yes, I--
01:51:35 - Sir?
01:51:37 - Intelligence.
01:51:41 If I can think about it, you execute it,
01:51:42 especially if I can put you on that plateau
01:51:44 without a shot being fired at you.
01:51:45 - Yes, sir.
01:51:47 - I'll direct Mukhtar here,
01:51:50 using artillery, gas, aircraft, no armor.
01:51:53 Once he's committed himself 30 kilometers
01:51:56 to the west by this road,
01:51:58 I will then push my arms through.
01:52:01 That'll leave them with their mouths open.
01:52:03 Let's flush them out.

01:52:40 - The gas will be up here, sir.
01:52:57 - Yes.
01:52:58 We must get to high ground.
01:53:00 Get back to high ground!
01:53:03 Move, everybody!
01:53:06 (dramatic music)
01:53:08 (men shouting)
01:53:17 (guns firing)
01:53:35 - Trapped.

01:54:57 (explosion booming)
01:55:13 - They've given us five days and nights of it.
01:55:22 (explosion booming)
01:55:25 - He's making a big push for the mountains.
01:55:38 And only using pipe to lure it.
01:55:42 - His tanks and armored cars are useless in the mountains.
01:55:46 They can only operate on level ground.
01:55:48 - Yes.
01:55:51 But he forced us here.
01:55:53 What does that suggest?
01:55:55 - He wants control of the mountain roads.
01:56:00 - Yes.
01:56:01 And what is there?
01:56:03 - The bridge at Wadi al-Kuf.
01:56:09 - That is what he wants.
01:56:14 - Gentlemen, this time he won't get away.
01:56:19 First we take the bridge, get our armor behind him,
01:56:23 artillery in front of him,
01:56:25 then we pound him into submission.
01:56:27 - But the bridge, sir, I am surprised
01:56:30 that the Mukhtar hasn't tried to cut it.
01:56:32 - That's because he's a natural fighter,
01:56:34 not an educated one.
01:56:35 He didn't go to military academy like you gentlemen.
01:56:38 (laughing)
01:56:40 Now's the time.
01:56:41 We dangle the bait.

01:57:55 - Check the bridge.
01:57:57 - Sergeant, check the bridge.
01:57:59 (footsteps)
01:58:05 - All clear.
01:58:22 - Right, check the next bridge, I'll hold this one here.
01:58:24 (engines roaring)
01:58:28 - He is careful.
01:58:36 He is showing us nothing.
01:58:40 (wind blowing)
01:58:44 (engines roaring)
01:58:47 - That is bait.
01:59:07 - We should have blown up the bridge.
01:59:09 - No.
01:59:13 - Scout cars, we must stop them.
01:59:14 - Give the signal.

02:04:14 Let's go.
02:04:17 (dramatic music)

02:09:41 (gun firing)
02:09:45 (laughing)
02:09:47 - My dear gentlemen,
02:09:49 my dear, dear gentlemen,
02:09:52 I hope you don't mind that I share some of your credit,
02:09:54 but after all, I chose you.
02:09:56 - I hope, Ducey, that I can--
02:09:58 - Can have anything you want.
02:09:59 You're the most fortunate man in this room.
02:10:01 - I have physically moved the war
02:10:04 from the desert into the mountains.
02:10:06 The last remnant of the enemy have now run into holes.
02:10:08 We find ourselves in a position whereby we are
02:10:11 forced to pull them out by their necks one by one.
02:10:13 Ducey, I don't know.
02:10:16 - I know.
02:10:19 (sighing)
02:10:22 You're having difficulties.
02:10:23 You're having problems with them being in the mountains.
02:10:28 - I don't seem to have an enemy to fight,
02:10:31 yet their attacks are incessant.
02:10:33 I mean, they have no form.
02:10:34 If they had form, I could meet them with form,
02:10:36 but they have no continuity of movement,
02:10:38 no fixed points of position.
02:10:40 I haven't, however, come to my Ducey empty-minded.
02:10:47 I have a radical solution, a new Hadrian's Wall.
02:10:51 - Eh.
02:10:52 - Except that Hadrian used his walls
02:10:56 to shut the barbarian out.
02:10:58 I shall use mine to shut him in.
02:11:01 I propose my Ducey to fence in Libya,
02:11:06 to run a wall of impassable wire across the desert,
02:11:11 from the Mediterranean to the shores
02:11:13 of this sea of moving sand.
02:11:17 It'll cut the enemy off from his supplies out of Egypt
02:11:19 and cut him off from his retreat into Egypt.
02:11:23 - Ducey, my Ducey, hundreds of miles of barbed wire.
02:11:28 But is it possible to know the cost?
02:11:31 - Why do you question Hadrian's Wall?
02:11:35 - Remember, it was Hadrian's Wall
02:11:37 that kept the Romans in Britain 100 years longer.
02:11:41 (dramatic music)
02:11:44 (dramatic music)
02:11:47 (dramatic music)
02:11:50 (speaking in foreign language)
02:12:16 (dramatic music)
02:12:19 - Thousands of tons of equipment, 4,000 men,
02:12:40 six months and the whole job completed at the last barb.
02:12:44 (dramatic music)
02:12:46 You old fool, you don't even look at a Rome vision
02:12:50 that Tacitus himself would have been proud of, do you?
02:12:52 - We are coming up to a big cut, sir.
02:13:00 They were trying to get through with wire cutters
02:13:02 and 5,000 rounds of ammunition.
02:13:04 (dramatic music)
02:13:07 - Well, that is that.
02:13:25 Now all he has is the trickle from the concentration camps.
02:13:29 And we'll dry that up, gentlemen.
02:13:34 We will dry it up.
02:13:35 - In 10 years time, all Europe will be fastest.
02:14:00 On land, sea and in the air, in Roman tanks,
02:14:05 in Roman ships, in Roman planes,
02:14:09 the new men of fascism are writing the pages of tomorrow.
02:14:14 We have conquered a second Roman Empire with our blood.
02:14:20 We will fertilize it with our labor.
02:14:23 We will hold it forever with our arms
02:14:27 and with our heads, millions of men.
02:14:30 (crowd cheering)
02:14:34 - How many bullets have you got?
02:14:44 - 12.
02:14:45 - At this rate, we'll soon be down
02:14:48 to fighting them with stones.
02:14:50 - How long can we last?
02:14:53 - Till doomsday.
02:14:56 Nothing has got through for a month.
02:14:58 We're fighting barbed wire.
02:15:00 - Wire will win when it tears our spirit.
02:15:07 Only then.
02:15:09 Yes, yes, the wire is hurting us.
02:15:15 Yes, it is, it is around our neck.
02:15:18 But it is God.
02:15:20 Not Graziani and not him.
02:15:23 Not Graziani and not him who decides what becomes of us.
02:15:28 - What is the will of wire compared to the will of God?
02:15:33 - We have eight million bandits.
02:15:38 We have one that matters.
02:15:42 - And we are not alone.
02:15:44 We have many, many fronts
02:15:47 and others are fighting beside us.
02:15:51 - Enough, enough.
02:15:52 No answering cries of sacred oath.
02:15:58 First, we will overrun the earth
02:16:02 and then we will take the flag of fascism to the stars.
02:16:09 (crowd cheering)
02:16:15 (coughing)
02:16:19 (coughing)
02:16:21 - Oh, thank you, Santa.
02:16:28 It's not the cold.
02:16:30 It's the dust.
02:16:35 - You've been fighting a war for 22 years.
02:16:39 It's the same dust.
02:16:43 Why don't you sleep?
02:16:48 - I feel better sitting up.
02:16:50 We will sleep back at the camp.

02:22:21 Don't beg, boy.
02:22:23 Don't beg.
02:22:25 (man shouting in foreign language)
02:22:32 - You are taken in arms.
02:22:42 You, shoot him.
02:22:49 There are more in there, follow them up.
02:22:52 Go on, you took him, shoot him.
02:22:57 (man snorting)
02:23:04 You idiot, I said I shoot him.

02:24:16 - Where is he?
02:24:30 - Well?
02:24:40 (dramatic music)
02:24:43 Yes.
02:24:44 I confirm the identification.
02:24:48 He's Omar Mokhtar.
02:24:51 I'm distressed to see him like this.
02:24:58 - How can you say that?
02:25:00 He's led the rebellion against us for 20 years.
02:25:04 - As a gallant enemy, Omar Mokhtar should be treated
02:25:07 by us with dignity.
02:25:09 - With dignity and with respect.
02:25:11 - With respect?
02:25:15 He should have been whipped all the way here.
02:25:19 - You forget yourself, sir.
02:25:22 - Sir.
02:25:36 (dramatic music)
02:25:38 Is there anything I can do for you?
02:25:43 - If you would allow me a little water,
02:25:48 I could make myself ready for prayers.
02:25:51 - Of course.
02:25:52 - And the chains while I pray?
02:25:55 - Out of the question.
02:25:57 He only wants to pray.
02:25:59 - I'm too old to climb walls or to fight barehanded.
02:26:05 - Remove these chains for an hour.
02:26:07 - On your own personal responsibility, sir?
02:26:10 - Yes.
02:26:11 Bring the water.
02:26:17 - Thank you.
02:26:25 - Now?
02:26:27 No need.

02:30:29 (footsteps tapping)
02:30:32 I want to ask you one question.
02:30:46 Why did you keep going for so long?
02:30:51 I'm sure you didn't hope to drive us out of Libya
02:30:53 with so little did you?
02:30:54 - We fought to.
02:30:59 That was enough.
02:31:00 - And you cared nothing about the ruination of your country?
02:31:04 - You are the ruination of my country.
02:31:06 What would you do if someone occupied your land?
02:31:10 - Did you ever think how your attacks, my sir,
02:31:14 seemed to us?
02:31:15 Ambush, murder by night, deception by day,
02:31:21 threats against the farmers.
02:31:23 - Farming our land.
02:31:25 Libya is not your country, you have no right in it.
02:31:27 Not to the pasture of one cow, not one minute of right.
02:31:32 - Italy has as much right here as anybody else.
02:31:35 England has a right to Egypt, France to Tunisia,
02:31:40 Algeria, Spain to Morocco,
02:31:43 but none of them have our pedigree.
02:31:46 We have hundreds of years of right here.
02:31:49 - Soon you will take everything from me.
02:31:53 And you want me to justify your thefts.
02:31:56 No nation has the right to occupy another.
02:31:59 - We are back here, that's all.
02:32:12 No one can deny us.
02:32:15 No one can deny us.
02:32:16 Read the date on this coin.
02:32:31 It's a coin of the Caesars, dated, minted in Libya.
02:32:39 - You will also find Greek, Turkish, Phoenician coins
02:32:44 all over Libya you find them, buried in our sand.
02:32:48 - Yes, I had forgotten.
02:32:49 You are short-sighted, aren't you?
02:32:52 Your spectacles, I believe.
02:33:00 The day they brought them to me,
02:33:02 I knew you wouldn't be too far behind.
02:33:05 - My spectacles.
02:33:07 We are both your prisoners.
02:33:10 - I will not be trivial.
02:33:13 Take the back coin.
02:33:14 - Okay.
02:33:17 - Yes, it does have an interesting past.
02:33:35 Don't try to buy too much with it today.
02:33:41 Your money, like your glory, is not permanent.
02:33:46 But I respect your past, as you must respect ours.
02:33:51 We too have a history in science, mathematics, medicine.
02:33:57 Through your dark ages, we led the world in learning.
02:34:03 - How many days will it take you
02:34:08 to arrange the surrender of your men?
02:34:11 - We will never surrender.
02:34:12 We win or we die.
02:34:17 And don't think it stops there.
02:34:20 You will have the next generation to fight
02:34:23 and after the next, the next.
02:34:25 As for me, I will live longer than my hangman.
02:34:32 - What makes you think I'm going to hang you?
02:34:39 Hmm?
02:34:40 - I mean, it might suit my purpose better to pension you.
02:34:44 If I hang you, I run the risk of leaving an open grave.
02:34:48 But on the other hand, you are a prime example.
02:34:51 - You can only do to me what God decides for me.
02:34:56 - Those chains are uncomfortable.
02:35:01 - They are uncomfortable facts.
02:35:07 Sit down.
02:35:08 - Thank you.
02:35:12 - Do you know, I had always hoped that,
02:35:23 that you and I, implacable enemies,
02:35:27 might sit down on the day of your capture
02:35:31 and discuss like Caesar.
02:35:34 - General, Omar Muqtad cannot give you the conquest of Caesar.
02:35:39 - I've hunted you for so long.
02:35:42 I mean, knowing each other as we do,
02:35:46 an idea.
02:35:48 Can't we work together for peace?
02:35:51 - And today is a day I work for you?
02:35:58 - Why don't you ask me for your life?
02:36:01 I might give it to you.
02:36:04 - I bet.
02:36:05 - What do I give you?
02:36:10 My collaboration?
02:36:14 No.
02:36:18 No.
02:36:20 - You are too late for bargains, Muqtad.
02:36:28 You are far too late.
02:36:31 - I have not asked you for my life.
02:36:34 Do not tell the world that in the privacy of this room,
02:36:37 I asked you for my life.
02:36:40 - No.
02:36:42 No, I will not do that.
02:36:45 I will not lie about you.
02:36:48 You are a man of courage.
02:36:52 Let us hope that you can keep that courage tomorrow.
02:37:01 (glass shatters)
02:37:02 - The rope of your justice is always hung in front of me, General.
02:37:12 - I've been photographed.
02:37:23 I wish my enemies to be recorded.
02:37:27 (glass shatters)
02:37:28 Instruct the President of the Court that he must be hanged in front of his people.
02:37:34 They must be there.
02:37:37 (footsteps)
02:37:39 (door opens)
02:37:43 (door closes)
02:37:45 (door closes)
02:37:46 - Omar Muqtad.
02:38:02 You are accused
02:38:05 of open rebellion against the lawful government
02:38:09 of your country.
02:38:12 (footsteps)
02:38:13 What age are you?
02:38:19 - 73.
02:38:24 - Are you the head of the forces in Libya fighting against Italy?
02:38:29 - Yes, I am.
02:38:34 - What is your name?
02:38:37 - Omar Muqtad.
02:38:39 - Omar Muqtad.
02:38:42 - Have you taken part in attacks on Italian soldiers?
02:38:45 - Yes, I have.
02:38:48 - For how long have you taken part in attacks on Italian soldiers?
02:38:54 - 20 years.
02:38:58 - How many attacks?
02:39:00 - You know,
02:39:04 I couldn't remember the number.
02:39:10 - You ordered the torturing and murdering of Italian prisoners.
02:39:13 - I did not.
02:39:15 Never.
02:39:18 - You were captured with arms in your hands.
02:39:21 - Yes, I was.
02:39:23 (footsteps)
02:39:25 (footsteps)
02:39:39 (footsteps)
02:39:40 (glass breaking)
02:39:42 - I am an Italian soldier.
02:39:50 In the field, I would be his enemy.
02:39:54 But here,
02:39:58 I'm obliged to.
02:40:00 I'm appointed to defend him.
02:40:04 (silence)
02:40:05 - You are an old man.
02:40:10 Older than all of us here.
02:40:15 And I will not abuse you with too many questions.
02:40:19 Did you ever submit to the Italian authority?
02:40:25 - I did not.
02:40:27 - Did you ever receive money?
02:40:32 Or other subsidy from the Italian government?
02:40:35 As a condition of good behavior?
02:40:38 - I did not.
02:40:42 Never.
02:40:44 - I declare
02:40:47 that Tomar Mokhtar
02:40:49 never submitted to us.
02:40:52 Never took subsidy from us.
02:40:55 Never recognized our right to rule in this colony.
02:41:00 He cannot, therefore, in logic or justice
02:41:03 be tried by us as a rebel.
02:41:06 - When we captured Tomar Mokhtar,
02:41:09 after 20 years of battles,
02:41:12 we are morally obliged to deal with him
02:41:16 as a prisoner of war.
02:41:18 (crowd shouting)

02:41:24 (bell ringing)
02:41:26 (crowd shouting)
02:41:29 (bell ringing)
02:41:30 - Silence!
02:41:32 Silence in court!
02:41:35 Captain Lontano,
02:41:44 you were ordered
02:41:46 to defend this rebel
02:41:48 against the charge of treason.
02:41:50 You have overstepped
02:41:55 your orders.
02:41:58 (footsteps)
02:41:59 The sentence on you, Tomar Mokhtar,
02:42:07 is death by hanging in public
02:42:11 in the town of Saluk at 11 o'clock tomorrow,
02:42:16 the 16th of September, 1931.
02:42:20 Year nine,
02:42:25 year nine
02:42:26 of the fascist era.
02:42:30 - From God we come,
02:42:32 and unto God we shall return.

02:44:12 - In the name of the government
02:44:16 of Tripolitania Cyrenaica,

02:44:20 as decreed by the military tribunal of Prenghazi
02:44:24 on the 15th day of September 1931,
02:44:27 year nine of the fascist era.
02:44:29 Omar Muhtar,
02:44:32 you have been found guilty of high treason,
02:44:35 both morally and materially,
02:44:38 of a sustained rebellion
02:44:40 against the Italian government of this colony.
02:44:43 The sentence passed by the court,
02:44:47 death by hanging in a public place,
02:44:49 will now be carried out.
02:44:51 (keys clacking)
02:44:53 Centurione, proceed.

02:50:09 You will have the next generation to fight and after the next, the next.
02:50:15 As for me, I will live longer than my hangman.
02:50:19 Thank you, God.
