Founded in 1906, Les Petits Chanteurs à la Croix des Bois (Little Singers of the Wooden Cross) are renowned as one of the world's most established children's choirs. Founded by Paul Berthier and Pierre Martin, two students on vacation at l'Abbeye de Tamie, the Paris-based traveling choir broke tradition with its lack of affiliation to a particular parish or cathedral. Directed by Father Fernand Maillet, they soon developed an international presence thanks to performances at the Vatican and an appearance in the 1945 film La Cage aux Rossignols, and continued to remain active throughout the 20th century, with singer/songwriter Matthieu Chédid, Les Prêtres' Charles Troesch, and Olympic rowing champion Adrien Hardy among some of their famous former members. By its centenary year, which was celebrated by a France2 show featuring duets with the likes of Tina Arena, Lara Fabian, and Nolwenn Leroy, the choir school had developed into a full-time educational institution, combining regular studies with a global touring schedule.

Animateur des Brigades internationales, au coeur de la Résistance pendant la libération de Paris, Henri Tanguy (1908-2002) fut l'une des figures héroïques de sa génération, l'un des hommes qui, sans tenir compte des revirements partisans, ont affronté le fascisme sans relâche. Roger Bourderon s'attache ici aux trois visages de Rol - Tanguy, des usines Talbot, lieu de ses premiers combats militants, au PC souterrain de la place Denfert, quartier général de l'insurrection d'août 1944.
