A true story of love, courage, and sacrifice.

Overview

The story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German clergyman of great distinction, who actively opposed Hitler and the Nazis. His convictions cost him his life. What is a moral person to do in a time of savage immorality? That question tormented Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German clergyman of great distinction who actively opposed Hitler and the Nazis. His convictions cost him his life. The Nazis hanged him on April 9, 1945, less than a month before the end of the war. Bonhoeffer's last years, his participation in the German resistance and his moral struggle are dramatized in this film. More than just a biographical portrait, Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace sheds light on the little-known efforts of the German resistance. It brings to a wide audience the heroic rebellion of Bonhoeffer, a highly regarded Lutheran minister who could have kept his peace and saved his life on several occasions but instead paid the ultimate price for his beliefs.

**_A Lutheran Minister in Germany resists the Nazis during WW2_**

“Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace” (2000) focuses on what was going on behind-the-scenes in Germany from 1939-1945. It concentrates on Germans who opposed Hitler’s despotic policies, including references to the famous 20 July plot to assassinate der Führer in 1944, which brings to mind "Triple Cross" and “Night of the Generals” from the ’60s and future movies like "Valkyrie" and “Rommel.” Like those flicks and “Black Book” (aka “Zwartboek”), this is a good choice if you're in the mood for the décor and int...read the rest
