13 Novembre: Fluctuat Nec Mergitur

I haven't seen anything in a while that would keep me so engaged that I wouldn't look at my phone once. I sat three hours straight without moving, glued to the couch, absolutely shocked and frozen. This docuseries made me feel like I was there at the night of terror in Paris. Seeing the events through the eyes of the survivors was almost unbearably powerful. Very tough documentary but I recommend to watch it. I will probably have to watch it again to process everything fully, but I'm completely speechless. Thank you for making it and letting us see what it was like to be there, because when you read it in the papers it's just another news that you are shocked by but once you turn the pages you kind of forget about it. This documentary will always help me to remember.

I watch a lot of docuseries, especially war series, but none of them made me feel so speechless as this serie. It is a great witness report about the Paris attacks back in 2015. It shows us the true horror of radical Islam soldiers. The definition of hate is shown in this docuserie.

I would really recommend this serie, it won't let you untouched.

Well not just about that - it is about human survival, it is about sacrifice and it is about decent people helping others in need. It is about shock and it is about disbelief and it is about what some of the people who survived remember of that fateful night. As mini series documentary this works quite nicely and makes sense overall.

There are a lot of people involved and you should find yourself feeling what those impacted felt too. It's not easy to watch as you can imagine and one can only hope this does not happen to anybody. Important documentary and really sad and life affirming at the same time

I'm sure I am not alone in that I can recall the night of November 13th, 2015.

I, like many others, was first made aware of the happenings in Paris with the report of explosions at the France v Germany game. Initially, there was confusion as to the source of the explosion, with differing news channels making conflicting reports.

From then onward, however, the evening only became darker as the horror grew and the scale of what was really happening became clear. It seemed unimaginable at the time, having gone from the mysterious explosions at the stadium to the sheer devastation at the Bataclan; it seemed like it would never end.

When it inevitably did, the whole world was traumatised. Nobody could have ever expected something so large-scale and harrowing to have occurred in one of the most liberating locations in the world. But in its aftermath, Paris - and the rest of the world - became stronger as a result.

This deeply moving and chilling documentary gives a new perspective to the night of November 13th and the attacks which took place all across Paris. It reminds us how many countless lives these tragedies affected, and encourages us to remain resilient in the face of terrorism.

This is not a documentary to be missed.

I really cannot recommend this 3 part documentary highly enough. The bravery show by the victims and the emergency services is inspiring. The description of mobile phones ringing amongst the fatalities was haunting.

My only very small critique is why there were no photos of the inside of the locations. It would be helpful to know what some of the areas described look like, especially in the Bataclan.
