The ten-episode documentary series, based on the oeuvre of Costa-Gavras, conveys what the cinema testifies about our history, our hopes and our acts of resistance. It is the result of a collaboration with the journalist Edwy Plenel. The episodes consist of historical archival material, extracts from Gavras’ films and material related to their production and audience reception, as well as interviews with the auteur. The first three episodes are screened. Episode 1 deals with the historical circumstances of the assassination of Grigoris Lambrakis and the adventure of shooting the film Z, explaining why the actor Jacques Perrin took over the production
and appealed to the Algerian government. Episode 2 is about the films The Sleeping Car Murders (1965) and Shock Troops (1967), and looks back at Gavras’ beginnings in Greece and his arrival in France. Episode 3 deals with the story of Confession (1970), a film that confronted the issue of the Moscow trials and Stalinist totalitarianism, paving the way for the moral crisis of communism.
