This fictionalized life of theologian Dietrich Bonhoffer has many parallels to what is going on in the US today. Sometimes we say, oh, I would have never gone along with what the Nazis did, I would have spoken up or worked to undermine and end the Nazi regime, as Dietrich Bonhoffer did. But how many of us are speaking up right now, as our rights are being abridged, right-wing minorities use religion to bludgeon the majority into conformity, immigrants are attacked, and disinformation wreaks havoc amidst a pandemic? Too many of us are silent in the face of extremism, unwilling to pay the price of living authentic Christian lives. This story is that of one man who was unable to reconcile his love of country with what his country was doing to "others" in the name of "purity" and nationalism. In order to live as a Christian, he chose to die as a martyr. It's a compelling story.
