Les graines de la résistance Episode 1

Our five characters traverse the violent political context of the 1930s and witness the race to war. All five aspire, each in her own way, to become free women. How did their taste for insubordination develop in the 1920s and 1930s? What was the soil in which the seeds of resistance grew? This is the theme of this first episode.

General de Gaulle's June 18 appeal marked the entry of the five heroines into the Resistance. In Nazi-occupied France, in London or on the other side of the Mediterranean, they each fought with their own weapons to honor the famous Resistance slogan: “To obey is to betray; to disobey is to serve”.

Episode 4 Episode 4

While Geneviève de Gaulle was liberated from Ravensbrück in April 1945, Mila Racine suffered a tragic fate and died six weeks before the end of the war. At the Liberation, the return to normal life was not easy for the four survivors and the women of the Resistance. The gender order was re-established, and there was a crying lack of recognition for their work. Simonne Mathieu and Renée Davelly died anonymously. Lucie Aubrac and Geneviève de Gaulle are among the rare female icons who never cease to transmit the spirit of the Resistance.

Often reduced to a handful of romantic clichés - that of a young messenger on a bicycle or a fighter posing with her machine gun slung over her shoulder - women have long remained invisible in the history of the French Resistance. And yet, in a defeated, humiliated country deprived in part of its male population, women were the first to react and initiate a spirit of resistance. Through five individual destinies, this collection highlights the crucial role played by women between 1940 and 1944.
