    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Excellent dramatisation of real events

    Having just returned from a 5 day trip to Munich, this film was recommended by a tour guide who took us to the White Rose memorial in the centre of Munich not far from the university where Sophie Scholl studied.

    This is a powerful & thought provoking drama that tells of the real life struggle of a small, young resistance group 'White Rose' resistance and their leaftlet war against the Nazi regime.

    If you enjoy this film, consider hiring 'Edelweis Pirates' another true story who had a similar struggle against the Nazis in Cologne.

    a story of 2 siblings that fight for their believe until the end

    A brilliant movie bringing across two extreme sides of nazi germany.

    How the siblings scholl strongly stood their point and tried to open peoples eyes until their last breath.

    A very emotional eyeopening film, have the packet of tissues ready for the end.
