Stéphane Hessel was born in 1917. He fought in the Resistance and was interned in a concentration camp during World War II. A survivor, he spent his life defending human rights, as a French Ambassador, a mediator for illegal immigrants and a contributor to the draft of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. At the age of 94, Stéphane Hessel keeps fighting for a fairer world, putting trust in the future, using humour and poetry. His life is a subjective take on the history of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.
