This documentary movie is a document that reflects the French at WWII.
The village people saved thousand of Jews and their spirit was against the Nazi occupation.
The beginning of the film is great, has a nice historical background of French religious culture, and amazing historical photographs... The evidence of people speaking are important, although they are quite tiring after 30 minutes...
8 of 10, must be watched once...
