"...The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Santa Barbara/Tri-Counties Region has presented this year’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival ADL Stand Up Award to "Liberté: A Call to Spy," a dramatic portrayal of the true stories of the first women recruited and sent by the British military to occupied France with orders to disrupt the Nazi war machine.
The courageous heroism of soldiers risking their lives to counter the Nazis is not a new story. It is new, at least for the big screen, that the heroes featured in "Liberté" are women, and it is certainly worth discussing why it has taken so long for their stories to be celebrated in this way...".
