In the north of France, in Lorraine and to a lesser extent in the South, it lasted from 1944 to 1948 and involved more than 100,000 men and as many families. It will cause deaths, orphans, we will encounter deprivations, we will talk about politics, purification, class struggle, communism, betrayal and heroism. In October 1948, a strike of 300,000 miners was severely repressed. Those who were arrested will be fired upon their release from prison. Witnesses and period films bring these little-known events to life until now.
