This film tells the true story of the youngest known resistance group of World War II. When German teenagers Rudi Wobbe, Helmuth Hübener, and Karl-Heinz Schnibbe listen to illegal radio broadcasts from England, they learn that the Nazis have been lying. Determined to spread the truth, Helmuth develops a plan to spread anti-Nazi leaflets throughout Hamburg. Fifteen-year-old Rudi idealistically believes their small group can make a difference. When they are arrested by the Gestapo, Rudi and his friends are unprepared for the brutality of the Nazi regime. Accused of treason, the trio must face the infamous Blood Tribunal with their lives in the hands of Nazi party loyalists. You will be inspired by the faith, courage, and strength of these three young men as they fight for truth in a time of darkness.
