Sophie Scholl

I recently saw a German film called Sophie Scholl: the Final Days. It was a dramatized historical documentary about Sophie and a small group of anti-Nazi campaigners known as the White Rose that distributed leaflets in the early 1940's suggesting the futility of fighting against the Allied Forces, and also describing the oppression of the German people under the fascist regime.
It was a well-done production, containing what so many Hollywood films lack: meaningful and thoughtful dialogue. Especially provocative is the exchange between Scholl and her interrogator, which is an ideological dialogue rather than the legal prosecution we might expect. In this discussion Sophie makes what is a most fitting criticism of Nazism: "No human, no matter what the circumstance, can exercise divine judgment."

I highly recommend it!
