A Moving Trailer For LA RAFLE (THE ROUNDUP)

From writer-director Rose Bosch comes LA RAFLE (THE ROUNDUP), a film that tells the story of the 1942 'Vel' d'Hiv Roundup'. Its main cast includes Jean Reno (LEON THE PROFESSIONAL, THE DA VINCI CODE) as a Jewish doctor, and Mélanie Laurent (INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, THE CONCERT) as a Christian nurse. The film was a box office hit in France and won numerous Audience Awards at film festivals. 

Synopsis: In picturesque Montmarte, three children wearing a yellow star play in the streets, oblivious to the darkness spreading over Nazi-occupied France. Their parents do not seem too concerned either, somehow putting their trust in the Vichy Government. But beyond this view, much is going on. Hitler demands that the French government round up its Jews and put them on trains for the extermination camps in the East. The collaborators start to put the plan into effect and within a short time, 13,000 of Paris's Jews, among them 4,000 children, will be rounded up and sent on a road with no return. The fateful date: July 16th, 1942, 68 years ago.

Embedded below is the trailer, and it looks incredibly moving.
