La Commune étudiante 3 May 1968: Students meet in the courtyard of the Sorbonne in a show of solidarity with the students at Nanterre; the police intervene, as angry onlookers protest. Bouguereau, Cohn-Bendit, Krivine and Weber talk about the ten days that shook France.
Paroles de mai May and June 1968: The students on the streets are soon joined by the workers. People who witnessed or took part in the uprising talk about the atmosphere, the excitement at the 'reclaiming' of language, and the spirit of freedom.
