Little cyclone
This is the true story of Andrée de Jongh, a young Belgian woman who, during World War II, established and ran the Comet Line, an escape network for downed Allied airmen. Nicknamed 'Little Cyclone' by the Gestapo, she personally led many dangerous journeys across occupied France and over the Pyrenees to safety. Her incredible bravery and resourcefulness saved hundreds of lives under the constant threat of capture and death.
