Synopsis:

France's Gaumont Pictures produced the 2010 highly ambitious - and potentially controversial - movie The Round Up, written and directed by Roselyne Bosch (who also wrote and directed the 2005 psychological horror film Animal). The Round Up (La Rafle) will tackle the subject of French collaboration with the atrocities of The Holocaust. Budgeted at E20 million ($26.4 million) and set during the second World War, The Round Up is about a French police operation involving 9,000 officers, which rounded up 13,000 Jews, mostly the elderly, women and children, on the night of July 16, 1942. Most were kept at Paris' Velodrome d'Hiver sports stadium; many were sent on to Auschwitz. The operation was ordered by France's Vichy government. 'America has a lot of movies, about Vietnam, the CIA, the Iraq War. This round-up is probably the biggest tragedy in French history, but it's never been told in film,' producer Alain Goldman said. The Round Up stars Jean Reno and Melanie Laurent and was shot in May, 2009. Its 13-week shoot featured 9,000 extras, and required the re-creation of the Velodrome and a French concentration camp.

A faithful retelling of the 1942 'Vel' d'Hiv Roundup' and the events surrounding it.
