Useful tip (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):


- It's best to make each fandom its own entry with its own title in the subject line! That makes it easier for people to find/see what you're promoting! Don't worry about 'spam', that is the entire point of this entry and you're using it exactly as intended.

The Roads to Freedom (TV)

[commanderbayban]

Title: The Roads to Freedom

Media: TV

Approx length: 13 episodes

Where to find it: Online or contact me via my Dreamwidth page.

What is it, in summary?: A BBC production from 1970 that’s based on the trilogy of novels by Jean-Paul Sartre. It showcases the lives of various people in Paris right at the start of WWII (1938-1940).

What do you love about it?: I like how character-driven it is. It’s a very bleak show, and also realistic. Very philosophical. A lot of what is shown was radical for its time (homosexuality, frank discussion about abortion, sexual assault).

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I am requesting Ivich and Claude. Claude only appears for two episodes (5 and 9), but he leaves an indelible impression on Ivich that, unfortunately, was not followed up on after his character’s last episode (although their relationship’s fate was briefly discussed at the start of episode 10). I would love a story that touches on the aftermath of episode nine, and how their relationship continued.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Although Claude only appears in episode 5 and 9, I would say that, to understand Ivich’s character, you should watch everything from 1-10. Claude doesn’t appear in episode 10, but he is relevant in terms of Ivich’s life and should also be watched.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Rape appears in episode 9. There are various episodes and scenes that depict typical WWII-era violence on the battlefield.
