THE GREAT ESCAPER - Trailer (2023)

Bernard Jordan made international headlines in the summer of 2014. He had made a "great escape" from his care home to join other war veterans on a Normandy beach mourning their fallen friends on the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings. It was a narrative that captivated the world's imagination, as Bernie epitomized the bold, "can-do" spirit of a generation that was quickly fading. It was an inspiring but sanitized account of one man's struggle to cope with the long-term effects of war. Bernie's 48-hour adventure also marked the end of his 60-year marriage to Rene - THE GREAT ESCAPER honors their enduring love, but always with an eye toward the lessons we can learn from the Greatest Generation.
