As a film, this project has all the professionalism of a 1st year student. It's simply terrible. The translations are not accurate, and even more problematic, there are many times when there are no translations at all. The titles of the people being interviewed don't tell us much, though perhaps if you're an elderly French person they will have more meaning.
That being said, the film has got hours of precious footage that will amaze and educate anyone. German newsreels about the decline of the French civilization... Candid conversations with Anthony Eden... A Jewish comic entertaining German troops... etc. It's absolutely wonderful to find this material.
It's painful to wade through this film to get these precious nuggets. But it is worthwhile.
