With Darlan having been assassinated, and with the Nazis now firmly in control of Paris, Charles De Gaulle (Simon Abkarian) is operating out of a London in which he feels increasingly sidelined and imprisoned. Churchill (Sir Simon Russell Beale) is trying to coax him down a more acquiescing path with new military leader General Giraud (Thierry Lhermitte) whilst the distant President Roosevelt (Campbell Scott) is determined to see him marginalised. His only really allies are "Rex" (Félix Kysyl) who treads a very precarious line at home liaising with the resistance and the recently promoted General Leclerc (Niels Schneider) who is leading a small but courageous Free French force in Africa. De Gaulle is now fighting on multiple fronts against allies who don't trust him an against his own countrymen whose officially recognised government sees no role for him at all. His challenge is now to insert himself into the politics and logistics of the forthcoming Normandy landings and to ensure that whatever emerges once the enemy has been driven out is still, proudly, French. Whilst I didn't enjoy this so much as the first part of this biopic of this ultimate patriot, it does quite interesting
