Opis filmu
Opis oryginalny: francuski
René Carmille, a hacker under the occupation Under the Occupation, René Carmille, a polytechnician, founded what would become INSEE and created the future social security number. This soldier who became an executive in the Vichy administration developed his modernist vision of mechanography, the ancestor of computer science, and multiplied the statistical surveys on the French population, at the risk of seeing them serve the anti-Semitic policy led by Pétain. But Carmille secretly pursues a resistant goal: he secretly diverts millions of data and identifies nearly 300,000 fighters in the free zone capable of participating in the liberation of France, when the day comes. Betrayed in 1944, he died in deportation. Between collaboration and resistance, René Carmille embodies these troubled trajectories of the Occupation that are still debated today. The film is directed by Youssr Youssef, 25, freshly graduated from the National School of Statistics, founded in 1942 by Carmille. A cumbersome legacy. She then decides to investigate the subject, which will resonate for her with many contemporary questions about Big Data and personal data.
