The Army of Crime

The Army of Crime(L'Armée du crime) (2009)

The Army of Crime (French: L'Armée du crime) is a 2009 French war film directed by Robert Guédiguian. In 1944, during the German occupation of France, an ill-assorted group of resistance fighters, many of whom are foreign nationals, communists and Jews, fight a disorganized war against the Germans and their French collaboraters. Missak Manouchian (Simon Abkarian), is approached to lead despite his pacifism; circumstances force him to abandon his reluctance. The film is based on the Affiche Rouge (Red Poster) affair, where 23 prominent Resistance Fighters were executed after a show trial and their names, faces and actions in an attempt to discredit them as an "army of crime".
