SOPHIE SCHOLL
Not every German during WW2 was a Nazi is the theme of this film. Not every German was swayed by Hitler. Not every German then thought that they were the 'master race'. Sophie Scholl dared to go against the brutal regime when almost everyone else had given up in resignation. She bravely faced the kangaroo nazi court bravely and died for her beliefs. A true German. An inspiring story.
2005 Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, Sophie Scholl - The Final Days is the true story of Germany's most famous anti-Nazi heroine brought to thrilling, dramatic life. Sophie Scholl stars Julia Jentsch (of recent cult fave The Edukators) in a luminous performance as the fearless activist of the underground student resistance group, The White Rose. Armed with long-buried historical records of her incarceration, director Marc Rothemund expertly re-creates the last six days of Sophie Scholl's life: a heart-stopping journey from arrest to interrogation, trial and sentence in 1943 Munich. Unwavering in her convictions and loyalty to her comrades, her cross-examination by the Gestapo quickly escalates into a searing test of wills as Scholl delivers a passionate call to freedom and personal responsibility that is both haunting and timeless.
