Sophie Scholl: Die Letzten Tage

Sophie Scholl (Julia Jentsch) and her brother Hans (Fabian Hinrichs)
stand trial in SOPHIE SCHOLL-THE FINAL DAYS

In 1943, Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans and Christoph Probst were convicted of treason by the Nazi regime for their involvement in the White Rose—a resistance movement that opposed the Nazi party’s ideologies. It was not then fully realized by the German public that the Nazis were planning mass extermination of Jews. Thus, this film avoids revisiting a subject that has been approached, superbly, by several American directors and instead gives us insight into one of several other angles by which the support for the Nazis began to disintegrate from within. This is a story reserved for Germany to tell.
