La Bataille de Gaulle Film 1: l'Âge de Fer plot

In June 1940, during World War II, Germany conquered France after a swift invasion. Both sides signed an armistice, after which the then-unknown General Charles de Gaulle fled to London. He believed, however, that a lost battle in France did not mean the war was lost. He hoped to convince both the world and his fellow countrymen of this.

When French Field Marshal Philippe Pétain [Alain Libolt] announces an armistice in June 1940, Brigadier General Charles de Gaulle [Simon Abkarian] refuses to accept it. He leaves for London to mobilize both French soldiers and the French people, hopefully with the support of Winston Churchill [Simon Russell Beale], to continue the fight against the Germans. The first part of a two-part story certainly does not portray De Gaulle as a classic folk hero: as a soldier, he is brave, persistent, and tactically astute; as a diplomat, he is haughty, colorless, and uncompromising. But the respectful relationship with political dinosaur Churchill and harsh political lessons force him to approach matters differently. An added bonus is the connection to the story of Fernand [Florian Lesieur], a patriotic youth who also learns hard lessons in his attempts to resist the occupier. A fascinating history lesson with an excellent mix of political intrigue, war thriller, and human drama. Continued: De Gaulle: Liberté.
