From time to time I need to see this film.

Army of Crime (2009)

This is the story of the French underground, or a small part of it, that succeeded in undermining Nazi rule during the WWII years.

I lived very comfortably in rural Pennsylvania.

My Dad went to his war in the Navy.

But nothing in my life could even begin to match the experience of these people.

What is good about this film is that it is not propagandized.

It shows actual French life in a small part of Paris and, it seems to me, does not embellish.

I am something of a student of these times. This film is a document which is very useful for me to keep the memory of it alive.

It happened once and it could happen again.
