Léif Lëtzebuerger… Charlotte: A Royal at War
The remarkable true story of one woman and Her government's pursuit of freedom for their country against the brutal occupation by Hitler's Third Reich. This feature-length documentary film is the previously untold account of Charlotte of Luxembourg, a wife, a mother of six children and Head of State of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Charlotte became a "Royal propagandist in pearls" who inspired a nation through the power of radio, reaching her people in their darkest hour. The film reveals a powerful truth: ordinary people will endure hardship, imprisonment, even death, if they have someone to believe in, to keep their hopes alive. The feature length documentary combines vivid eyewitness testimony with dramatic reconstruction and unique, previously unseen, colour archive. It is also the remarkable story of a wartime friendship between Her and President Roosevelt. The documentary was released March 21, 2008 in Luxembourg and in London on September 19, 2009. The premiere of "Charlotte: A Royal at War" in New York is scheduled for March 27, 2009 at the Consulate General of Luxembourg in the presence of Curtis Roosevelt, grand-son of the late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as the producers Candice Allen-Olson and Lynn Rothwell.
