Free Land (Zone Libre)

Thursday, April 10, 5:00 PM at

Brimming with warmth and humor and richly photographed, Free Land is a delightful and distinctly French film about Jewish Partisans seeking refuge in the countryside during World War II. Pursued by advancing German forces, an extended family of five flees Nazi-occupied France and crosses the demarcation line into the "zone libre," or free zone, where they arrive at the farm of a peasant and patriot who shelters them in a barn. The ragtag group includes a very pregnant sister-in-law and the matriarch who only speaks Yiddish. Free Land is a film about cultural clashes, courage and cowardice that will transport you from laughter to tears. Based on the play by Jean-Claude Grumberg.

Topics: Holocaust, Partisans, France, WWII, Family Relationships
