The German occupation of England

DramaScience FictionWar

World War II, 1940. When the Nazi hordes invade and occupy Great Britain, the English citizens are soon divided between those who choose to submissively collaborate and those who are willing to fight.

VIBE

A chillingly plausible alternate history, this film feels like a grainy, forgotten documentary. It's a stark, unsettling look at occupation and the quiet desperation of ordinary lives under an oppressive regime.
