Review of The Great Man (2014) by Leena L — 25 Aug 2014

I was invited to the showing and the following Q&A session with the director, daughter of a friend. I did not know what to expect, except legionairs and afghanistan. The film was enjoyable, oddly so. Interesting insight to the life and code of legionairs and the life of illegal immigrants in France.
