You surrender your name at a metal table in Aubagne and climb the entire rank structure of the French Foreign Legion — from the anonymous engagé volontaire to the colonel who commands a regiment — discovering that what changes from rung to rung is how much of your own past you are allowed to carry. A calm, immersive, second-person climb through ten levels of one of the world's strangest institutions. This channel is for education and entertainment only. Nothing here is financial advice.
