The Great Dictator

Description

Dictator Hynkel rules the fictional land of Tomania. He sends all non-Aryans to concentration camps, including the Jewish barber Charlie, who has just won Hanna's heart. But Charlie manages to escape because, thanks to his mustache, he is mistakenly thought to be Hynkel. The dictator is quickly locked in the bunker instead of the barber, and Charlie has to deliver his speech to the people. This is Charlie’s chance to call for resistance against tyranny and to spread sparks of hope for human dignity, freedom, and peace.
