A series of five films on modern France which expand on some of the documentary themes from A vous la France!
3: The Languedoc and Occitan
Occitan, rather than French, is the original language of much of southern France. In the Languedoc region it is enjoying something of a revival, and is being seen as the focal point of a new mood of self-determination among the Occitan people, who have a historic resistance to central government.
