When the law finally catches up with him, he\u2019s given the choice of prison or spying on the inhabitants of a local Mosque who are suspected of harbouring Jews and resistance fighters and passing them off as Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>A born survivor, Younges initially works both sides, becoming a useful go-between for the Gestapo and the Mosque. But with the passing of time, events conspire to transform this hitherto apolitical cynic into a dedicated freedom activist who realizes that for change to occur he must, for the first time in his life, take a stand. &#8211; Alliance French Film Festival 2012<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a title=\"irish times\" href=\"http:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/newspaper\/theticket\/2012\/0525\/1224316645332.html\">Read The Irish Times review.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a title=\"interview\" href=\"http:\/\/www.close-upfilm.com\/features\/Interviews\/levoyage.htm\">Read interview with director\u00a0Isma\u00ebl Ferroukhi.<\/a><\/strong><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AeJ7j08uW1w?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text] Free Men \u00a0 \u00a0| \u00a0 \u00a0Les hommes libres Director: \u00a0Isma\u00ebl Ferroukhi \u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0France \u00a0|\u00a0 2011 \u00a0 | \u00a099 mins \u00a0 | \u00a0Cert: 12A Starring: Tahar Rahim, Michael Lonsdale,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1275,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions\/1275"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/corkcineclub.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
