Marc Bloch: In the Name of France

Marc Bloch: In the Name of France (2026) is a history, documentary film directed by Hugues Nancy.

Marc Bloch is one of the 20th-century French intellectuals best known abroad. He fought in both World Wars: though wounded during World War I, he remained on the front lines until victory, and he enlisted as a volunteer during World War II before joining the Resistance. This historian, who revolutionized the way history is viewed, written, and told before being murdered by the Nazis for being a member of the Resistance and a Jew, left a profound mark on his century. It is this exemplary life, dedicated to the Republic he cherished, that will earn him a place in the Panthéon—and that is the story this film tells.
