Chabannes is a remote village in France that permanently etched its name into the history books during World War II. While the small area remained unoccupied during the battle, the concerns of its citizens were raised by some 400 Jewish refugee children, who were rescued by the proactive villagers. Director Lisa Gossels brings two of those refugees--her father and uncle--back to the village of Chabannes to recollect their experiences in this moving documentary. Some of the locals who participated in the relief effort are still around, and Gossels talks to them as well, making THE CHILDREN OF CHABANNES a complete memoir of events from a 21st century perspective.
