- A series set in central France during World War II, A French Village explores the story of French collaboration, resistance, and simple survival during the German occupation. Weakness, courage, greed, opportunism, love, and anti-semitism, all interact in this account of how a community taken over by a brutal conquering power survives. While every viewer of the series knows the ultimate outcome, the inhabitants of the village do not. The series illuminates the agonizing choices people face when survival means treachery-- and resistance means torture and death.
- It is 1940 and German troops swoop in to occupy the petite village of Villeneuve (meaning "New Village"). Residents must learn to cope with their new government and new way of life, under German occupation. A Villeneuve doctor is assigned as leader and mayor. Other residents are forced out of their homes and separated from loved ones, while others experience German interference with their own businesses. Life under occupation is difficult, demanding and for many, deadly. Fear of betrayal is fresh on everyone's minds. Who will become collaborators? Who will go underground? Who can anyone fully trust? This series delves into the pain and suffering on a personal level, during the occupation of France, from 1940-1945.—CindyH
