Sophie Scholl: Die letzten Tage


Sophie Scholl: Die letzten Tage (The Final Days) directed by Marc Rothemund, features Julia Jentsch as Sophie Scholl, Fabian Hinrichs as Hans Scholl, and Florian Stetter as Christoph Probst. I watched this film last year, and just found the post I made on my other blog. I hadn't written much about it, but Sophie Scholl: Die letzten Tage is definitely worth watching. There are some truly inspirational people in this world.

Winning the Silver Bear Awards for Best Director and Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival of 2005, and nominated for Best Foreign Film for the 2005 Academy Awards, this film tells the incredible true story of Germany’s most famous anti-Nazi heroine, Sophie Scholl, a twenty-one year old member of Weiße Rose (White Rose), a non-violent student resistance group.

‘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.’
