Colette: former French Resistance member confronts fascism and family trauma after 75 years - OSCAR NOMINATED

Description

On the anniversary of the start of the Nuremberg trials, 90-year-old Colette Marin-Catherine confronts her past by visiting the Nazi concentration camp in Germany where her brother was killed. As a young girl, she had been a member of the French resistance and had always refused to set foot in Germany. That changes when a young history student named Lucie enters her life. Prepared to reopen old wounds and revisit the terrors of that time, Marin-Catherine offers important lessons.

Nominated for the 2021 Short Documentary Subject Academy Award

Written and Directed by Anthony Giacchino
