Today they are 50 years old. In recent times, they fought Paris and its various governments. Ever since their first student demonstrations demanding the creation of a university in Corsica, they have never stopped trying to gain more ground in disputed domains. They created the Corsican National Liberation Front, known as the FLNC, carried out hundreds of bomb attacks and commando operations, and in so doing, they violently affirmed the existence of an identity-based movement. Many of them decided to hang up their guns, a few were still dabbling in the dangerous games of secrecy, but for all of them, the time had come for explanation and an initial evaluation.
This film is their story.
