Life Belongs to Us (French: La vie est à nous) is a 1936 documentary propaganda film commissioned and produced by the Communist Party of France with the participation, among others, of Jean Renoir. Parts of the film were taken from newsreels, and are mixed with new sketches about working people, peasants, and intellectuals.
It analyzes the power of the "200 families" who ran France at the time.[1]
