The newly-released film from JEM (Jewish Educational Media), The Early Years Volume III, chronicles the lives of the Rebbe and the Rebbetzin in the years before they arrived in the United States. The film documents the years 1937-1940, when the Rebbe lived in Paris.

Like Early Years Volumes I and II, Volume III includes first-person accounts and testimonies, never-before-seen documents, and a wealth of fascinating information that answers questions about this little-known period.
