The documentary film "The Sorrow and the Pity (1971) by Marcel Ophuls (Ophüls) triggered a scandal in a France still traumatised by the German Occupation. It shattered the myth cultivated by the Gaullists of a united France that stood firm against the German occupiers. Joseph Beauregard takes a look at this extraordinary film which first revealed the complicated choices French people made during World War Two.
