Rebellion
Ouvéa Island, New Caledonia, April 1988. A group of Kanak freedom fighters kidnaps 30 gendarmes. 300 soldiers are dispatched from France to restore order. Philippe Legorjus, the leader of the terrorist squad, and Alphonse Dianou, the leader of the kidnappers, square off. They will attempt to win the debate through their shared values. But, in the midst of a presidential election, when the stakes are high, morality does not always trump order. A violent and troubling epic that sees Mathieu Kassovitz return to the director's chair and behind the camera.
