D-Day Sacrifice
Created by Isabelle Clarke, Frederic Lumiere, Daniel Costelle
On National Geographic Channel
A documentary archive of D-Day told through restored primary footage and eyewitness testimony, balancing the gravity of war with the human stories of those who lived it.
Comprised entirely of re-mastered and colorised archive footage from World War II, much of it never before seen, Sacrifice recounts the story of D-Day through the testimonies of those who lived it. These important historical days are seen through the eyes of French civilians and members of the military fighting on both sides. The testimonies of famous individuals like Dwight D. Eisenhower and Erwin Rommel are intertwined with those of anonymous soldiers and citizens, such as film director Samuel Fuller and Eisenhower's chauffeur, Kay Summersby. From the preparations for D-Day all the way through to the liberation of Paris, the accounts of these men and women provide a moving and invaluable retelling of this pivotal time in history.
