William Wyler, Willie Forty Takes

The filmmaker of "Roman Holiday" and "Ben Hur" is the all-time record-holder of Best Director Oscar nominations: twelve, including three wins. Born in Mulhouse in 1902, in an Alsace annexed by Germany, he never forgot his origins, and during the war joined the American army to fight the Nazi regime. Beyond the evocation of an extraordinary career, a portrait rich in unpublished documents of a man who always fought for freedom.
