Overview

They are 50 years old today. Over the last thirty years, they have fought against Paris and its various governments. Since their first student demonstrations demanding the creation of a university in Corsica in the 70s, they have constantly pushed back the frontiers of protest. They created the Front de Libération Nationale de la Corse (Corsican National Liberation Front), and carried out hundreds of bombings and commando operations to violently assert the existence of an identity claim. Many have chosen to hang up their rifles, while a few are still adept at the murky game of clandestinity, but for all of them the time has come for an explanation and an initial assessment. This film is their story.
