I saw a great film last night that I have to recommend:

[kestrel91316]

Sophie Scholl: The Final Days.

I don't normally even come over to this forum (I spend time in Cooking& Baking, and Environment/Energy, lol) but I get Netflix and somehow wound up getting this film I don't even remember putting in my queue. It was nominated for an Oscar a couple of years ago, I think. VERY good movie. Very sad.

German girl in student underground movement to oppose Nazis gets caught, along with her brother, doing something the Nazis take exception to. Interrogation, trial, punishment ensue. I don't want to spoil things. Film is in German with English subtitles, set in 1940s Munich.

A MUST-SEE.
