The remarkable untold story of the Royal propagandist in pearls who inspired a nation through the power of radio, reaching her people in their darkest hour. This is the true account of Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg and her government’s pursuit of freedom for their country, against the brutal occupation by Hitler’s Third Reich. It reveals a powerful truth: that ordinary people will endure hardship, imprisonment, even death, if they have someone to believe in.

As Hitler’s army invades in 1940, Charlotte and key government ministers escape across the French border, to set up a government-in-exile. Luxembourgers who stay behind endure five bitter years of occupation at the hands of the Third Reich. Against criticism that she's abandoned her people, Charlotte uses the airwaves to broadcast propaganda messages, as the only real weapon at her disposal. Combines eyewitness testimony with dramatic reconstructions and unique colour archive.
