Kolwezi (5)

This film was made right after the French Foreign Legion proved its valor (once again) in a military operation in Congo. The Legion saved hundreds of Europeans taken hostages by rebels and managed to drive them away after losing only 5 of its men. The film is very low budget, but very accurate and most of the legionnaires on the screen were actual legionnaires involved in the fights.

I really like the music at 6:30. Is it Legion marching music? What is its name? Thanks.

No, it isn't the legion marching music, this music was made for the movie as a way to glorify the Legion. I don't know the name of the music and I'm not sure if it has one actually...

Best regards
