The year was 1940. Two brave women in Nazi occupied Paris began
smuggling human beings out of France. These women seemed like unlikely
heroes, they were older, one was English, the other was American. When
they learned that there were British soldiers trapped inside France,
hiding out from the Germans, they decided to do something about it. But
there is much, much more to their story.
