"June 6, 1944, the light of dawn" tells the story of Operation Overlord, which is to date the largest military operation that man has ever conceived. From the summer of 1941 until June 6, 1944. The landing is told like a historical drama with its intrigues, its twists and its thousands of young men who will die there. Entirely produced with cropped and colorized archives, this film by JeanChristophe Rosé was broadcast on France Télévisions as part of the 70th anniversary of the DDay landings in June 2014. It is one of the best audiences for a history documentary.
