Network of Freedom: The True Story of Sister Helene Studler, Heroine of the Resistance against Nazis

Product Description

Set in France at the beginning of World War II, this inspiring film narrates the heroic work of Sister Helene Studler, the Daughter of Charity who saved the lives of thousands of French refugees by preventing them from becoming prisoners of the Nazi forces, or freeing those who were captured. Among those she saved were many illustrious characters including the future Prime Minister of France, François de Mitterrand.

Sister Helene was dedicated to the care of orphans, the homeless and the abandoned in France when WWII broke out, and she witnessed the horror and the barbarism of the Nazis, who built a concentration camp close to her center.
