Pablo Moreno presents the trailer for «Network of Freedom»
Set in France at the beginning of World War II, the film narrates the commendable work of Helena Studler, the Daughter of Charity who saved the lives of thousands of French refugees by preventing them from falling prisoner to the Nazi forces, among others, such illustrious figures as François de Mitterrand or General Giraud.
Helena, a witness to horror and barbarism, carries out extraordinary charitable work with the captives and prisoners of war, while endangering her own life and that of her loved ones to save the lives of the rest of the children, elderly, prisoners, and orphans; all of them victims of the armed conflict.
The project arises on the occasion of the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Vincentian family, promoted by Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac in 1617. Over these 400 years, hundreds of personalities have emerged who have given their lives for those who have least, for the rejected, the unjustly persecuted. Among all these lives, that of Sister Helena Studler stands out, a very peculiar heroine who rescued more than 2000 people from Nazi concentration camps located in northern France. The context of that time bears a surprising parallel with current armed conflicts; Helena's life becomes a reference for overcoming adversity, heroism, and the fight against injustice.
