De Gaulle: Frihetens röst

DE GAULLE: FRIHETENS RÖST is the epic continuation of the story of Charles de Gaulle and the struggle for a free France.

After refusing to accept defeat and building up the resistance from exile, de Gaulle now faces the next decisive battle: to unite the French resistance, assert France’s independence from the Allies and lead the country towards liberation. DE GAULLE: FRIHETENS RÖST is the second and final instalment of Antonin Baudry’s historical epic about Charles de Gaulle and opens in cinemas on 30 October.

The year is 1943. France is occupied and the war rages on. Charles de Gaulle has gone from being a relatively unknown general in exile to the leader of Free France, but the struggle for the country’s future is far from over. The Allies are trying to get him to accept an agreement with General Henri Giraud, while the resistance movement inside France must unite and French forces continue their fight against Nazi Germany.

With Jean Moulin, General Leclerc and resistance fighters across the country at his side, de Gaulle refuses to compromise on France’s future. Amid political power struggles, military battles and an occupied people waiting for liberation, the struggle moves ever closer to its decisive moment. The goal is no longer merely to keep the resistance alive, but to liberate France.
