Forces Occultes (Occult Forces)

In 1943 National Socialist Germans produced this great film while occupying France during the war, depicting the dangers of Freemasonry and secret societies. It was directed by a former member of the Grand Orient of France, Jean Mamy, and includes authentic footage of Masonic initiation ceremonies.

The film tells the story of the nationalist politician, Pierre Avenel, who is called to join Freemasonry, Avenel, after much reluctance and, without having much idea of ​​what goes on inside this criminal gang, accepts the request. During the course, he is faced with the corruption, schemes, and political scandals of the time. He later discovers that Freemasons are conspiring with the Jews to encourage France to wage war against Germany.

After WWII, everyone involved was accused of collaborating with the "enemy." While Robert Muzard (producer) escaped after 3 years in prison, Jean Marquès-Rivière (screenwriter) and Jean Mamy were sentenced to death.
