In 1890, Lyon, France, a remarkable event was captured on film. This extraordinary footage has resurfaced thanks to the efforts of a dedicated individual. The collection of films, passed down through the family from a grandmother who has since passed away, is nothing short of intriguing. Contained within these carefully packed boxes are meters upon meters of cinematic history. What sets this discovery apart is the revelation that the filmer, the granddaughter's grandfather was a covert operative for the French secret government. His clandestine work led him to record some truly unusual occurrences. These exclusive films have now found their home with Rumble, where we are undergoing meticulous digital restoration. In this video, we offer you a glimpse into these enigmatic reels. Each fragment is a piece of a puzzle, but the motivations and secrets behind these recordings remain shrouded in mystery. We reached out to the granddaughter for insight, but she has chosen to remain anonymous.
