The inspiring true story of Martha Gellhorn's perilous, secret journey
to become the only female journalist to cover the D-Day landings of
1944
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL. JUNE 1944.
On a dark night at the height of World War Two, thousands of ships
charge across the ocean towards the French coast. This is Operation
Neptune: the beginning of the fight to free Europe from the Nazis. The
next few weeks will turn the tide of the war.
On board one of the hospital ships, disguised as a nurse, is Martha
Gellhorn. A seasoned war correspondent, she talked her way onboard,
hiding in a lavatory until it was too late to send her back. Now Martha
is on her way to make history as the only woman to set foot on the
beaches on D-Day.
