Based on real events, this film is about unsung hero, Franz Jägerstätter, who refuses to fight for the Nazis in WW II. When this Austrian peasant farmer conscripted into the German Nazi Army, faces imprisonment, execution, and the rejection of his own community, his unwavering faith and his wife's keep their spirits alive. Malick's breath-taking cinematography, skillful use of symbols, slow pacing powerfully engage the audience's hearts, minds. Jägerstätter leaves a strong legacy of honor.
