Louise Michel la rebelle (2010)
Film Synopsis
In 1871, Louise Michel becomes an active participant in the Paris Commune, always ready to galvanise French opposition to the occupying Prussians. By taking up arms against Bismarck's troops, she and her fellow Communards are arrested and deported to New Caledonia, where she soon gets on friendly terms with the native Kanaks and offers her services as a teacher. Meanwhile, back in Paris, a young politician named Georges Clemenceau is busy trying to negotiate an amnesty for the Communards. When the amnesty is finally granted, in 1880, Louise Michel is allowed to return to France. Her exile has done nothing to dampen her revolutionary zeal. At the risk of imprisonment, she continues fighting for what she believes in, lending her support to other revolutionaries and anarchists of her time...© James Travers
