This powerful WWII drama was a Box Office hit in France following its 2010 release and its meticulously researched historical detail and characterisation bring to life one of the darkest periods in recent French history.
Set in Paris in the summer of 1942, The Round-Up tells the harrowing true story of the arrest and deportation of thousands of French Jews. Focusing on the experiences of three young children and their families, Rose Bosch’s heartrending drama recreates the horrific tragedy of the 13,000 Jewish citizens who were held captive by France’s Vichy government in the Vélodrome D’Hiver. Strong performances from the child actors alongside the adult stars make for compelling viewing in this wholly affecting drama.
