The White Knights Trailers

Jacques Arnault, head of Sud Secours NGO, is planning a high impact operation: he and his team are going to exfiltrate 300 orphan victims of the Chadian civil war and bring them to French adoption applicants. Françoise Dubois, a journalist, is invited to come along with them and handle the media coverage for this operation. Completely immersed in the brutal reality of a country at war, the NGO members start losing their convictions and are faced with the limits of humanitarian intervention.

Reviews
Manthast Absolutely amazing
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
GUENOT PHILIPPE Inspired from actual events that occurred eight years ago, this is a very unusual story. The tale of a No Government Organization - and also a non authorized one - who took orphans from their lost villages in the deep sub Sahara Africa. They took those orphans - or supposed to be - in order to bring them to France, in a total illegal way, so that those under five kids can find foster families. So, you see, you have here a really ambivalent atmosphere and characters too. Vincent Lindon gives here, one more time, a terrific performance as the leader of this surprising group, that fits him very well. Only him could have do this, or maybe Olivier Gourmet... We can consider this as an adventure film, so rare in the French industry since the fifties or early sixties. Watch out for the ending...
