Projection de film: L'armée du Crime (BIL)

Jeudi le 21 juin, 19h

2hr 19min, Version française avec sous-titre anglais.

L'Armée du crime met en scène les tout premiers jours de la résistance française contre l'occupation nazie. Le film suit un groupe de combattants dans la résistance, composé en grande partie de radicaux Polonais, Juifs, Arméniens, Espagnols et Italiens qui craignaient autant les collaborateurs français que les occupants nazis.

Le groupe a posé quelques-uns des premiers actes de sabotage, de propagande et d'assassinat contre les occupants fascistes avant que ses membres soient finalement arrêtés et exécutés. Ils étaient surnommés «L'Armée du crime » et étiquetés comme terroristes et agitateurs/communistes étrangers dans le but de discréditer leur activités, qui ont été reprises plus tard par une grande partie des français.

Film Screening: L'armée du Crime (BIL)

Thursday June 21, 19h

2hr 19min, French with English subtitles

The Army of Crime is a film about the very first days of the French resistance to Nazi occupation. The film follows a group of resistance fighters largely composed of radically political Poles, Jews, Armenians, Spaniards and Italians who feared french collaborators as much as the Nazi occupiers.

The group carried out some of the first acts of sabotage, propaganda and assassinations against the fascist occupiers before they were ultimately rounded up and executed. They were dubbed "The Army of Crime" and labelled as terrorists and foreign agitators/communists in order to discredit their activities which were later taken up by large sectors of the French people.
