In 1943 Sophie Scholl and his brother Hans were arrested and trialed for distributing anti-war leaflets at the university of Munich. They were both members of the White Rose, a non-violent resistance movement against the Nazi regime. The screenplay of this fine German drama is based on interviews and interrogation transcripts. As a result the movie is very dialogue heavy, but the strong performances and the captivating true story make it engrossing.
