Lutheran clergyman Dietrich Bonhoeffer was imprisoned and hanged by the Nazis for actively opposing Hitler. His heroic participation in the German resistance and his moral struggle are dramatised in this remarkable true story of love, courage and sacrifice.
What is a moral person to do in a time of savage immorality? That
question tormented Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German clergyman of great
distinction who actively opposed Hitler and the Nazis. His convictions
cost him his life. The Nazis hanged him on April 9, 1945, less than a
month before the end of the war. Bonhoeffer's last years, his
participation in the German resistance and his moral struggle are
dramatised in this film. More than just a biographical portrait, Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace sheds light on the little-known efforts of
the German resistance. It brings to a wide audience the heroic rebellion
of Bonhoeffer, a highly regarded Lutheran minister who could have kept
his peace and saved his life on several occasions but instead paid the
ultimate price for his beliefs.
