Nazi Germany, 1943, twenty-one year old Sophie Scholl and her brother, Hans, leaders of the White Rose nonviolent student resistance group, are arrested after being caught placing anti-Nazi leaflets around their university.

SOPHIE SCHOLL: THE FINAL DAYS brings to life the true story of Germany’s most famous anti-Nazi resister and the last six days of her life, from arrest to brutal show trial and execution, during which Sophie, a Christian, delivers passionate and hauntingly timeless calls for freedom, personal responsibility, compassion, and resistance to the crimes of state.
