Genre:
Retraces the epic story of the Parisian Resistance fighters of the FTP-MOI (Francs-tireurs and Partisans - Immigrant Workers). Led by Missak Manouchian, a worker and poet of Armenian origin, the group carried out around 30 operations against the Nazis between August and November 1943. Handed over to the Germans by the French police, 23 members of the Manouchian group were executed, and the Nazis tried to use their foreign roots in a propaganda campaign against immigrants in Paris in Spring 1944. But the propaganda had the opposite effect and the members of the network became martyrs of the Resistance movement.

Our critics review will be added soon.
solid, spellbinding drama based closely on real history, whichalong the wayoffersa not-so-subtle commentary on the diverse, immigrant-rich society of contemporary France.Guédiguian manages to make thisa worthy companion piece to Melville's resistance classic Army in the Shadows; the same remorseless dread stalks both
An interesting look at the way he french resistance movement came together in one small town. The unit of resistance fighters perform guerilla warfare on the locally stationed German soldiers. Enjoyable, interesting to watch, though quite long at 2 hours 20 mins.
