De Gaulle : histoire d'un géant

This film retraces his career, from his birth in 1890 to his burial in Colombey-Les-Deux-Eglises in 1970. This epic recounts the visionary force and rectilinear destiny of this man who changed the course of history and who influenced still the life of the French. Some political leaders still claim part of his legacy today. Charles De Gaulle remains the providential man in the collective imagination of the French, even 50 years after his death. Charles de Gaulle is a totem, a hero of light and shadow, bearer of positive values. Every moment of his life, each of his reactions demonstrates that it is impossible to influence the course of history without extraordinary lucidity, energy, tenacity, even stubbornness.
