The Children of Father Jacques

Movies
This documentary is based on the testimonies and work of Father Jacques, a French monk and Righteous Gentile. Father Jacque was born in 1900 with the name Lucien Bunel. During the Nazi occupation of France he was the Headmaster of the Saint-Therese de l´ Enfant Jesus Petit College in Avon. Three Jewish boys sheltered there. Louis Malle’s 1987 film “Au revoir les enfants” also perpetuates the story of Father Jacques.
