The true story of the French mime artist Marcel Marceau and his role in the French Resistance while in the Boy Scouts.
I'll watch it tonight, thanks for the heads up WHL.
The storyline from IMDb.
The story of a group of Jewish Boy Scouts who worked with the French Resistance to save the lives of ten thousand orphans during World War II.

I've since read up on the life of Marcel Marceau, and discovered what a fascinating one it was, also read up on the evil Klaus Barbie, who I remember seeing on the news, and that is another story altogether, the Butcher of Lyon, who's skill was skinning people alive, was actually taken to the USA after the war, and worked for the CIA, before being allowed to escape to Bolivar, to carry on his torture, as I said a very highly recommended film....on a side not it was Marcel who taught Michael Jackson the moon walk....

When I saw the title of the posting I thought I was going to read about an uprising in Cyprus to fight against the restrictions on movement!

I remember back in the day watching this guy, with a white face on the tv, not in a million years would I thought he had such a life.
