Résistantes plot

Documentary about three elderly French women who actively stood up against the German occupier during the Second World War. Marie-Jo Chombart de Lauwe, 92, became a member of the resistance when she was sixteen. She was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Germany. Madeleine Riffaud, 91, was one of the few female partisans. She looked armed in the eyes of the Germans. 95-year-old Cécile Rol-Tanguy fought during the Paris uprising. She smuggled weapons into her daughter's pram.
