“It calms a little bit to come here. There is a lot of emotion and a form of respect. The earth vibrates here. At Fort Douaumont (Meuse), partially covered in snow, this Thursday, December 15, Omar Sy came on pilgrimage. His next film, “Tirailleurs” by Mathieu Vadepied, which comes out on January 4, tells the story of Senegalese soldiers who came to lend a hand to the soldiers during the First World War. Even if the feature film was shot near Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes) and in Senegal, as part of the promotion, the production organized a visit to the Meuse. A day for educational purposes where college and high school students from Verdun were associated.
