Waalwijk, Theater De Leest De Gaulle: Liberté

In the second part of this two-part series, Charles de Gaulle continues his fight for a free France, while political tensions also rise within the Allied camp. The story ultimately leads to the liberation of Paris and de Gaulle’s rise as the symbol of a free France.

June 1940. France surrenders to the German army and signs the armistice. Amid the chaos, one man refuses to accept the situation: General de Gaulle. As a newly designated enemy of the state, he flees—without an army, support, or hope—to London to pick up the pieces of his fallen homeland. De Gaulle holds one unshakable belief: a new, free France and a Europe that will not lay down its arms against Nazi Germany.

Following *Résistance*, the story of Charles de Gaulle continues in *Liberté*, the second and concluding part of the epic two-part series directed by Antonin Baudry. Featuring an impressive cast of major French and English stars, including: Simon Abkarian (Casino Royale), Anamaria Vartolomei (The Count of Monte Cristo), Niels Schneider (“Diamant noir”), Mathieu Kassovitz (La Haine), Thierry Lhermitte (Le Dîner de cons), Félix Kysyl (Miséricorde), and Simon Russell Beale (House of the Dragon, The Death of Stalin).
