Willem and Frieda
Synopsis
Stephen Fry’s personal journey and essay tells the amazing story of how a group of Amsterdam’s artists, musicians and members of the LGBTQ+ community, pulled off one of the most daring and far-reaching acts of sabotage in the history of the Dutch resistance.
Willem, a gay artist, and Frieda, a Lesbian cellist, forged identity papers for Jews without a “J” on them but when the Nazis began to check the false paperwork against real files they came up with a daring plan to blow up the Central Records Office but without harming anyone.
