Synopsis:
In German-occupied Paris, poet and factory worker Missak Manouchian (Simon Abkarian, Rage, Casino Royale) leads a group of young Jews, Hungarians, Poles, Romanians, Spaniards, Italians and Armenians determined to fight to free the country they love, France, their refuge from the fascist dictatorships overtaking home countries. Undercover, risking their lives, they become heroes. These foreign partisans bomb, attack and harass the Nazis and their collaborators, provoking the wrath of the French police, who assign ever more men to catch them, using double-agents, tip-offs, blackmail and torture... Twenty-two men and one woman are condemned to death in February 1944. In a final propaganda exercise, they are labeled the Army of Crime, with their faces inset against a red background on a poster pasted on the walls of every city in the country. These immigrants, who died for France, went down in history. This film tells their magnificent and tragic story.

Special Features:
