Sophie Scholl: The Final Days
Sophie Scholl is a heartbreaking drama, based on real life events and the activities of the White Rose resistance group. Munich, 1943. Twenty-one-year old Sophie Scholl and a group of young men put leaflets denouncing Hitler into envelopes, they distribute these at the University. They seem to have achieved their task safely until Sophie showers leaflets over the atrium as the bell for recess rings. As Sophie and Hans try to escape, the caretaker denounces them. At Gestapo headquarters Sophie is interrogated, ultimately crushing evidence is presented and, though forced to confess, Scholl fights to save the lives of her brother and friends. The film is based on transcripts of the interrogation and witness interviews, Marc Rothemund award winning ‘Sophie Scholl’ is a tense and illuminating account of an extremely courageous stance taken against overwhelming odds.
