Filmography
Paroles d’étoiles (Words of stars)
Between 1942 and 1944, 12,000 children were killed or deported in France. Others, the majority, survived. Thomas Gilou went to meet them, to listen to them, to follow them on their painful pilgrimages and, above all, to gather words, secrets and feelings that most of them had rarely or never expressed.
This DVD brings together three documentaries (in French):
Paroles d’étoiles explores childhood memories and offers another view of the war and of Nazism.
Le temps n’efface rien (Time erases nothing). The director accompanies the witnesses from the first film to Auschwitz, together with their grandchildren.
Le réseau Marcel (The Marcel network). Previously unseen video archives on how this independent organisation worked, created by Odette and Moussa Abadi with the complicity of the Bishop of Nice, Monsignor Rémond, and of Pastors Gagnier and Evrard.
Alongside this, Andrée Poch, a child hidden and saved by the network, pieces together sixty years later, in the course of an investigation, the memories of her fragmented early childhood… She meets Jeannette, Marthe and Julien, children hidden by the Marcel network, and direct witnesses of this act of Jewish Resistance.
