Village of Secrets

Set in the remote villages of the southern Massif Central, the narrative focuses on the remarkable courage of the inhabitants of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon during World War II. They heroically sheltered thousands from the Gestapo, including resisters and Jewish orphans, without any informers or betrayals. This community's unwavering solidarity and moral fortitude led to its recognition by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations, highlighting a unique historical legacy of compassion and resistance against oppression.
