Arte's "Camarades!" Revisits Vincennes University and Post-1968 Revolutionary Zeal

Benjamin Charbit and Dominique Baumard created "Camarades!", an eight-episode series available on Arte's platform arte.tv since September 16, 2026. The show chronicles the tumultuous history of the University of Vincennes in post-1968 Paris. In the narrative, Françoise, a student and budding revolutionary, establishes a Maoist splinter group, unaware that Claudine, a prostitute from the Bois de Boulogne, is preparing to infiltrate her circle on behalf of the Renseignements Généraux. The series aims to recapture the rebellious spirit of May 68 with flair. Charbit and Baumard discussed their project in an interview, reflecting on the era's radicalism. The production is a French TV series broadcast on Arte, with RFI providing cultural coverage. No further details on cast or production were provided.
