Ile de Sein and the De Gaulle Rally on a Silenced Island
On Ile de Sein, once a beacon for French resistance, villagers recall De Gaulle's 1940 appeal and the islanders' radios, boats, and courage amid rumors and fear. Fishermen, shopkeepers, and families describe evacuation, departure for Spain, and the changing face of the island under modernization.
