In the spirit of Louis Malle’s
Au Revoir les Enfants and Steven Spielberg’s
Schindler’s List,
The Children of Chabannes is the story of how the people in the tiny French village of Chabannes chose action over indifference and risked their lives and livelihoods to save more than 400 Jewish refugee children during World War Il. Filmmaker Lisa Gossels' father Peter and uncle Werner were two of these rescued children. Integral to the Chabannes story are the extraordinary measures taken by the local teachers and townspeople who sheltered, nurtured, and educated the children and integrated them into the local school and community until it was no longer safe for them to be there.
