Léif Lëtzebuerger

2008 NR 1h 36m 6.9

The untold story of a Royal "propagandist in pearls" whose wartime friendship with President Roosevelt became a vital catalyst to win back freedom for her tiny occupied country.

Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg was a "propagandist in pearls" who used personal charm and the power of radio to reach her people in their darkest hour. Combining vivid eye-witness testimony with dramatic reconstruction, Leif Letzebuerger is the story of how one of the world's smallest democracies survived the brutal occupation of Hitler's Third Reich. And it reveals a powerful and lasting truth: ordinary people will endure hardship, imprisonment, even death, if they believe they have someone to believe in - to keep alive their hopes.
