15 Lads (French: Nos résistances) is a 2011 French World War II drama film written and directed by Romain Cogitore in his feature film directorial debut, inspired by the real-life experiences of his grandfather, Antoine Cogitore, as a French Resistance fighter when he was a teenager. It stars François Civil as a 19-year-old carefree rescuer who joins a group of 15 young men from the French Resistance in 1944. The film was released theatrically in France by Shellac Distribution on 5 January 2011.
