DE GAULLE: RÉSISTANCE @ Stamford Arts Centre

This fierce, powerful biopic (the first in a two-part project) follows Charles de Gaulle's rise from army officer to leader of the French Resistance against Nazi Germany during World War II. Simon Abkarian stars as De Gaulle, backed by Simon Russell Beale as Winston Churchill – a dynamic figure who de Gaulle views as both a challenger and an ally – and Campbell Scott as Franklin D. Roosevelt in an exceptional ensemble cast.
