In Nazi occupied France resistance took courage. Meet 90-year-old Colette Marin-Catherine who, as a young girl, fought the Nazis as a member of the French Resistance. Now, she’s about to re-open old wounds, re-visiting the terrors of that time. Since 1945, Colette refused to step foot in Germany. That changes when a young history student named Lucie enters her life and convinces her to visit the concentration camp where the Nazis killed her brother.

Watch the panel with the filmmaker and subjects moderated by The Guardian’s Head of Video Charlie Phillips from Monday, September 14.
