Sochaux June 11th 1968

1970 · 20m

Witnesses tell of the day the police took over the Peugeot factories in Sochaux on strike for 22 days. Balance: two dead, one hundred and fifty wounded. The first film by Sochaux's Medvedkine group, this film recounts one of the most violent episodes of May 68: the murder of two Peugeot factory workers by a CRS brigade during clashes on June 11, 1968. The film was shown two years later, on June 11, 1970, in a cinema opposite the factory, on the day commemorating the death of the two workers.
