The movie accurately portrays the last 6 days before 3 German students, Sophie, her brother Hans and Christoph Probst were beheaded for treason for resisting Fascism. It uses dialog from archived interrogation transcripts.

The film has been nominated for an Academy award as best foreign language film of 2005 (it is subtitled in English) and won 3 Lolas, the German equivalent of the Oscar.

I will see it when comes near here - it is only showing in NY in 4 theaters - so check right away where the closest theater and playing dates are in your state. This is a film that must be seen widely. DVD will not be available until the end of 2006. Take all your friends and better yet, take a Repub.

Most DU'rs are very aware of the White Rose but for those who are not:
