You can stream The Little Soldier (1963) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Despite his lack of political convictions, photojournalist Bruno Forestier is roped into a paramilitary group waging a shadow war in Geneva against the Algerian independence movement.

This political thriller subverts expectations by centering on a detached photojournalist who treats a violent shadow war like nothing more than a series of snapshots. It captures the chilling intersection of personal apathy and global upheaval within the cold, quiet streets of Geneva.
