On April 6, 1972, workers of French company Joint Francais went on strike and were confronted by the riot police. This picture, captured by Jacques Gourmelen, shows two men — Guy Burmieux, a worker at the company, and Jean-Yvon Antignac, a riot policeman — standing face to face. In that moment, the two recognized eachother — they were childhood friends. “I saw him [Guy Burmieux] go toward his friend and grab him by the collar. He wept with rage and told him, ‘Go
