The events of May 1968 told through the most famous reportage by Gilles Caron and sixteen writers, actors, journalists, filmmakers, politicians... Sixteen original texts and one hundred and twenty illustrious or unpublished photographs.
Far from the imagery of Epinal, Gilles Caron gives us back the good vibes, the baton blows, the tear-gas saturated nights, the smoky amphitheaters and the hot streets left to themselves. Caron is always there at the right time: in his viewfinder the stampede of the first pebbles torn in threads from the roadway on May 3, the jubilant crowds gathered around Bartholdi's green lion on May 13 after the first nights of barricades, the burned cars or felled trees.
