Northwest Premiere
SJFF is proud to premiere this 2006 Academy Award nominee for "Best Foreign Language Film." In 1943, as Hitler continues to wage war across Europe, a group of college students mount an underground resistance movement in Munich. Dedicated expressly to the downfall of the monolithic Third Reich war machine, they call themselves the White Rose. One of its few female members, Sophie Scholl is captured during a dangerous mission to distribute pamphlets on campus with her brother Hans. Unwavering in her convictions and loyalty to the White Rose, her cross-examination by the Gestapo quickly escalates into a searing test of wills as Scholl delivers a passionate call to freedom and personal responsibility that is both haunting and timeless. The true story of Germany's most famous anti-Nazi heroine is brought to thrilling life in this award-winning drama. Armed with long-buried historical records of Sophie Scholl's incarceration, director Marc Rothemund expertly re-creates the last six days of her life: a heart-stopping journey from arrest to interrogation, trial and sentence. SOPHIE SCHOLL received three Lolas (German Oscars), including the Audience Award and Best Actress Award to Julie Jentsch for her brilliant characterization of the title role, and two Silver Bears for Best Director and Best Actress at the 2005 Berlin International Film Festival.
