The Round Up

Synopsis

The Round Up throws a powerful light on one of the most disturbing episodes in recent French history – the few weeks in July 1942 when the French police, at the direction of the Nazis, rounded up more than 13,000 Parisian Jews, including more than 4,000 children, and took them to the now notorious Velodrome d'Hiver stadium. A powerful and extremely gripping story ignored until relatively recently, The Round Up is brilliantly directed by Rose Bosch and features a stunning cast including Jean Reno (The Da Vinci Code) and Melanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds).
