Rapper and actor Ludacris recently lent his support to an Algerian film project. New York's Daily News reports that the rapper eagerly hosted a special Tribeca Grand screening of Rachid Bouchareb's Days of Glory. The film is set during World War II and chronicles the story of four North African men who enlist in the French Army to fight the Nazis and French discrimination.

In related news, Ludacris is scheduled to hit Miami for New Year's Eve. He'll be ringing in the New Year with a performance at Social at the Sagamore Hotel.

Next year the rapper is planning to head out on the road on the big Def Jam tour, which will also feature Nas, Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, and Ghostface.
