Army of Crime (2009)

Directed by Robert Guédiguian

Drama | History | War

Overview

This gripping historical drama recounts the story of Armenian-born Missak Manouchian, a woodworker and political activist who led an immigrant laborer division of the Parisian Resistance on 30 operations against the Nazis in 1943. The Nazis branded the group an Army of Crime, an anti-immigrant propaganda stunt that backfired as the team’s members became martyrs for the Resistance.

Good, but also depressing. Especially given the current political climate.
