Enjoy a glass of wine on arrival at the Australian Premiere Screenings of De Gaulle: Resistance and De Gaulle: Liberté, a powerful two-part epic about Charles de Gaulle's life between 1940-1945. Presented by Europa! Europa.

June, 1940. France collapses and signs the armistice. In the midst of the chaos, one man refuses to give up. Alone against the odds, this unknown general flees to London to save what remains of freedom.

Without an army, without backing, without hope. But with one irrational conviction – France, his France, has not laid down arms. Taking the ultimate gamble, he seeks to convince the world that the battle for France is neither over, nor lost.

Part one, De Gaulle: Resistance, screens on Sunday 23 August, 4pm.

Part two, De Gaulle: Liberté, screens on Sunday 4 October, 4pm.

Tickets to each part are sold seperately.
