If you are not interested in history, WWII, and the French resistance against the Nazi occupation, this is not for you.
Missak Manouchian and Armenian who lost his parents during the Armenian Genocide at the hands of Ottoman Turkey (funny how there is a comment disguised as a review here uses this as a platform to deny this historic fact), living in France. Manouchian became well known for his leadership in the French Resistance, he was also, an intellectual and a talented poet.
Manouchian was the leader of three detachments, totaling about 50 fighters. The Manouchian group is credited with the assassination, of General Julius Ritter, responsible for the deportations and sending tens of thousands to their deaths. The Manouchian groups also run thirty successful attacks on the Germans. He was captured along with dozens more of his fellow resistance members by the French collaborator police, tortured and then handed over to the Nazi Germans where he was executed. The movie is very good, almost 100% historically accurate, with few things that were missed.
