Germinal (2021)

"Germinal" is the sweeping period drama adapted from Emile Zola's novel, chronicling the brutal lives of coal miners in 19th-century France as poverty and unrest push a community toward rebellion. Amid the grime and hardship, Natacha Lindinger brings a grounded intensity to the ensemble cast. The archive holds 1 scene from the production, capturing a rare glimpse of nudity within this otherwise unflinching social drama.
