{movie} bonhoeffer (2003)

This poignant documentary traces the life of German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was one of the first to speak up against Adolph Hitler throughout Hitler's rise to power. Bonhoeffer organized the Confessing Church, the only structured revolt against Hitler, and turned to his roots as a devout Christian for the strength to take a political stand for Jews everywhere.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** Didn't really make Bonhoeffer looks like a credible threat to Hitler's rise to power. Obviously wasn't that much of a threat as Hitler didn't just kill him. Too much time spent on his religion and not enough on his resistance to Nazism. Not horrible, but could have been better.
