In "Resisting Paradise," art becomes a powerful weapon against oppression as a group of artists in a small French town stand up to the Nazi occupation during World War II. Through their works, they defy the enemy, preserve their culture, and inspire hope in a time of despair. This documentary explores the role of art in the face of political upheaval, questioning its ability to effect change and resonate with those who are struggling for freedom. As the artists of Cassis demonstrate, the power of creativity can be a potent force in the face of adversity, and their stories serve as a testament to the enduring spirit of resistance.
