In fact, this is not very far from my usual subject, which was sometimes (partly) inspired by WW2 and the fight against fascism. Star Wars is a good example. By the way, #StarWarsVisions The Spy Dancer by @Studiocachette , released a few days ago, is inspired by real events.
These memoirs were written in the 2nd half of the 20th century, transcribed by my brother after my grandmother's death, and then translated by myself.
Here are four extracts from the life of my beloved grandmother, Jacqueline, in France during WW2. In 1944, she was 12 years old.

It all stems from the first entry in #StarWarsVisions, Kamikaze Douga’s “The Duel”: an homage to the jidaigeki (period piece) works of auteurs like Kurosawa, whose “Hidden Fortress” famously inspired George Lucas and “A New Hope.” 2/
Consequently, RONIN is intimately tied up in jidaigeki’s anxieties about violence and the scars it leaves on people and politics.
The Ronin, a lone swordsman and a Sith, has a history in this world, and it has at last begun to hunt him. 3/

Like I said yesterday, I would love to see #StarWarsVisions created all over the world.
Cocorico, if I take the example of France, I would love to watch a couple of Visions by Les Armateurs (Kirikou and the Sorceress, The Triplets of Belleville, Ernest & Celestine).
