La rafle

The film "La rafle" (2010) is a French historical war drama directed by Roselyne Bosch, based on the true story of the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup, a mass arrest of Jews by French police who were accomplices of Nazi Germans in Paris in July 1942. The story follows the struggles of two Jewish families living in the Butte Montmartre district, who are arrested and deported to a transit camp, and their attempts to survive and find hope amidst the unimaginable horrors of the Nazi occupation. Mélanie Laurent stars as Annette Monod, a Red Cross worker who risks her life to help the Jewish prisoners, while Jean Reno plays Dr. David Sheinbaum, a doctor who tries to save a young Jewish boy from deportation. The film is a powerful and emotional retelling of a pivotal moment in World War II history.
