The Internationale

THE INTERNATIONALE tells the story of a legendary song written in 1871, after the brutal suppression of the Paris Commune, that was soon to be translated and sung in over a hundred languages throughout the world, and become a rallying cry for all the oppressed and exploited people of the world to rise up and overthrow their masters. It takes us on a journey around the world and throughout history - from the Paris Commune to the Soviet Union, from Jamaica to Tiananmen Square - bringing to life the stories of people who have been touched by this emotionally-charged song.
