The documentary series 'Notre Histoire de France,' set to air in 2025 on France 2, explores key periods in French history, highlighting societal values, technological progress, and political development. The series aims to include diverse perspectives, emphasizing France's multicultural heritage and the importance of collective memory. Sonia Rolland, a former Miss France and actress, narrates the series' second season, covering the reigns of Louis XIII and Louis XIV. Rolland expresses her pride and sense of legitimacy in portraying an aspect of French history, despite not being a historian, citing her personal background of mixed French and Rwandan roots and her childhood experiences fleeing the Rwandan genocide. She discusses the challenge of embodying historical figures and the importance of representing diversity, especially the often-overlooked roles of women in history. Rolland hopes the series fosters emotional connections with viewers and highlights social progress and ongoing struggles for liberty and justice. The program also aims to challenge stereotypical narratives and promote awareness of France's multicultural identity, with Rolland emphasizing the significance of collective memory and the fight against sexism in historical storytelling.
