Does anyone know of any good books/documentary films that deal with the insurrection in Paris in 1968?

Thank you for these sources comrade! I'll be looking into them shortly.

I'd just like to note to anyone else interested in this historic event that I read the book : French Revolution 1968 by Patrick Seale and Maureen McConville. I thought it was a good, comprehensive analysis of the events in France, and it offered a left-leaning perspective. The only issue I had with this book is how little attention was paid to the factory occupations.
