Update from France

A morning at the 360 cinema, 

A FILM INTO THE HEART OF THE BATTLE OF NORMANDY

"Normandy's 100 days", the children watched unseen footage and discovered exceptional archive footages collected from around the world that tell the whole story of the 100 days of the Battle of Normandy.

This film is a tribute to the men of all nations who fell and to the 20.000 civilians killed during the liberation of Western Europe that gave rise to so much hope.

A technical and artistic performance that gathers archive images unpublished for the most, and coming grom various countries' funds such as Canada, the United States, Germany, England and France.

We then wandered down through Arromanche and on to Bayeaux for lunch. 

We’ve just visited the German cemetery- where the children were respectful and particularly brave, asking other visitors and current serving soldiers “Why are you here?” Or “How did WW2 impact your community?” 

Now onto the American Cemetery.... 🇺🇸
