But where was the TV movie actually shot? France Télévisions is offering this Wednesday, March 23, a new, unreleased TV movie, Les enfants des Justes. Adapted from the eponymous novel by Christian Signol, this fiction tells a true, relatively unknown story of the Second World War. Mathilde Seigner and Gérard Lanvin play two Périgord farmers who take in a little Jewish girl whose parents are on the run to escape the Germans. On the border of the free zone, Blanche and Virgile take all the risks. But where was this TV movie really shot?Where was the TV movie Les enfants des Justes?For this moving TV movie, Fabien Onteniente is in charge. The director, who is better known for being at the origin of the Camping franchise, signs here a very different work on the fight of heroes in the shadows, in cities as well as in the French countryside. And it is in a department that the director is very fond of that the filming took place since it took place in the Dordogne, like the action on the screen, a department where he would have spent many holidays during his youth. Between October and November 2021, filming passed through the municipalities of Mauzens-et-Miremont, Saint-Martial-d’Artenset, Saint-Chamassy, ​​Saint-Cyprien, Montpeyroux, Meyrals, Monpazier and Les Eyzies. A preview even took place at the beginning of March, in Buisson-de-Cadouin. Many French people then decide to protect them at the risk of their lives, sometimes passing them off as their own family. If many French people were imprisoned or killed for having brought this help, History and the State will later honor them with the title of “Righteous among the nations”. This distinction, awarded by the State of Israel from 1963 is the highest civilian distinction, and is given to any non-Jewish person who has provided unrequited aid to at least one Jewish person during the Second World War.
