"1944, Marcelle Poirier, correspondante de guerre oubliée", A 19-minute documentary marking the 80th anniversary of Agence France-Presse (AFP).
AFP discovers in 2024 its first woman war correspondent who was forgotten by history. In August 1944, Marcelle Poirier, a French journalist who joined the French forces in London, is chosen to take over the mission of three reporters who were reported missing in Normandy. In 1944, news women were not aloud to go to the frontline, so Marcelle Poirier has to be smuggled to France.
A film by Laurent Kalfala, motion-design Clara Morineau and Fred Bourgeais, music by Ludovic Vickers.
