Why and how to join Freemasonry? - The path of a young Frenchman during WWII

Teenager in 1941, oppressed resident of occupied Paris, Bernard was one day forced by the Vichy regime to go to an anti-Masonic exhibition... a visit which made such a good impression on him that a few years later, he entered Freemasonry. This journey, a precious historical anecdote, is above all a beautiful proof that even under the worst propaganda, it remains possible to think for yourself. It is also to echo Bernard's snub to Pétainism that I illustrate his point with Vichy propaganda images... including the (in)famous conspiracy film "Forces occultes". The most borderline movie buffs will appreciate it!
Second historical portrait that I produced after the one about Maurice Teboul, I decided to make this documentary after the chance of a meeting at the restaurant. Like the first on it also deals with the Second World War, and it also has as its central character a gentleman who shot Nazis. Another remarkable common point: both subjects missed their vocation as military pilots.
The difference between the two films, however, is that this one has no voice-over; to leave more space for the subject, and also to save myself a lot of work, I must admit. Ultimately it's very good like that, and it is in this format that I intend to do my next portraits. Have a good trip with Bernard... and don't forget: Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar!
