Plot

Sophie Scholl was a member of the White Rose, an anti-Nazi resistance group based in Munich University, 1943. Sophie and her brother are captured during a dangerous mission to distribute pamphlets on campus. Unwavering in her convictions and loyalty to her comrades, her cross-examination by a Gestapo officer quickly escalates into a searing test of wills as Scholl delivers a passionate call to freedom and personal responsibility. Armed with long-buried historical records of her incarceration, director Marc Rothemund expertly recreates the last six days of Sophie Scholl's life: a heart-stopping journey from arrest to interrogation, trial and sentence.
