L'Abbé Pierre: Une Vie de Combats plot
Henri Grouès was born into a bourgeois family. He was a resistance fighter, member of parliament, defender of the homeless, revolutionary and iconoclastic. From the benches of the National Assembly to the slums of the Parisian suburbs, his commitment to the most vulnerable has brought him international fame. Yet every day he doubted his actions. His intimate life was unknown and hardly believable. Enraged by poverty, inequality and injustice, often criticized, sometimes betrayed, Henri Grouès led a thousand lives and fought a thousand battles. He left his mark on history under the name he chose for himself: Abbé Pierre.
