Bezet gebied

Summary

Dramatised documentary about the Dutch resistance during the Second World War.

The German forces have occupied the Netherlands. In spite of promises to respect their way of life, the Dutch are forced to obey the Germans at every turn. The resistance movement begins to organise acts of sabotage such as stealing ration cards and distributing illegal newspapers. The German retaliate without mercy: some resistance fighters are shot, others face arrest. During a daring raid on the prison they are freed.
