Valiant Hearts by Mona Achache
Thu, Aug 10 | 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM | Zoom Webinar
Bristling with suspense and moving in equal measures, Valiant Hearts tells the true story of exceptional bravery and survival against all odds. Starring acclaimed French actress Camille Cottin, the story recounts the odyssey of six Jewish children in August 1942, who are forced to take refuge where no one will ever think to look for them: amidst the Louvre Museum artworks hidden in the Château de Chambord.
DCP. France. 2022. Drama, 85 min
