Synopsis

From a young age, Denis Diderot refused the prohibitions imposed by bourgeois morality and clergy on the knowledge of his time. Gradually, the desire to make free knowledge available to everyone germinated within him. He then waged a fierce struggle to create the great Encyclopédie of which he was the father. This picaresque and poetic narrative allows us to rediscover the great Enlightenment figure who embodies a more relevant struggle than ever: sharing knowledge without constraints or taboos.
