Luc-la-Primaube. An exhibition and a film dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of France

The MJC organized an exhibition at the Saint-Exupéry space in La Primaube, of the Liberation and the victory in honor of the 80th anniversary of the landings (resistance, objects from the film, uniforms), followed at the end of the evening by a screening of the 40-minute fiction film based on historical facts, “Je ne regrette rien” by Aurélien Fossé-Kitsakis in the presence of producer-screenwriter Maxime Bravo.

The fight remains the same. It is about France, its soil, its sons…”
