State owned children
Directed by Anja Unger, co-written with Renaud Lavergne
Synopsis
At the end of World War II France exfiltrated children born of German mothers and French fathers, soldiers in occupied Germany. The objective of these “State adoptions” was to help re-populate France.
The film traces the establishment of this system and the history of children “produced” by it.
