Cinémoi’s second instalment of this exclusive mini-series chronicles the genesis and development of France’s resistance during the Second World War.

Join Cinémoi as we continue to explore a piece of history that defined a nation and provided the resonance for a generation of filmmaking.
This episode delves into the Jewish struggle and persecution by the Nazis, focusing on their plight as they attempt refuge in neighbouring countries, often assisted by the French Resistance.
Mixing actual footage with dramatised scenes works to create a suspenseful tone and, as to be expected for such harrowing subject matter, emotions run high throughout.
