Albert Camus

For Algerian-born Albert Camus, World War II raised ethical doubts and questions about the “dilemma of existence itself.” In his plays, essays, and novels, Camus addressed basic human concerns with such passionate honesty and moral intensity that he became a sort of Socrates of his times. This thorough production examines The Myth of Sisyphus, The Stranger, The Rebel, and The Plague. The DVD includes a printable teacher guide. 21 minutes. Grades 8-12.
