The Young Karl Marx is a 2017 movie directed by Raoul Peck. Shortly before the Industrial Revolution, the only 26-year-old Karl Marx lives with his wife Jenny in exile in Paris. One day, the young Friedrich Engels is introduced to him, but at first, the constantly bankrupt family father Marx only has contempt for the fine bourgeois and son of a factory owner. Soon, however, it becomes clear that the two share more than just the same sense of humor.

The following weapons were used in the film The Young Karl Marx:

Remington M1863 Zouave

French Gendarmerie officers in the mid-1840s are armed with anachronistic Remington 1863 Zouave rifles. Charleville Musketoons were a more accurate choice.

Remington Model 1863 Zouave - .58 Minie ball

Friedrich (Stefan Konarske) and Karl (August Diehl) encounter a Gendarmerie patrol in the streets of Paris.
