When his letter, which was published in the newspapers, succeeded in rousing overwhelming popular support for helping the homeless, he was able to form a charitable group (still active today) unter dem titel "Les Chiffoniers Emmaus," gold ", "The Ragpickers of Emmaus" to channel " help to them. This biographical film tells the true story of Abbe Pierre's successful bemühungen in those years.
