Bonhoeffer: Holy Traitor portrays the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Lutheran pastor who stood out for his opposition to the Nazi regime.
Based on a true story, the film explores the trajectory of one of the most notable figures in the spiritual and intellectual resistance to Nazism. It is scheduled to premiere in Portuguese cinemas on May 1st.
At a time when Europe was consumed by war, Bonhoeffer refused to be indifferent and openly denounced the persecution of Jews. His position led him to join a conspiracy to assassinate Hitler—a decision that would confront him with an ethical dilemma of enormous proportions. To what extent can one compromise faith to prevent the advance of evil?
Directed by Todd Komarnicki and starring Jonas Dassler, the drama paints a restrained and rigorous portrait of a man who defied power in the name of justice. More than a biography, Bonhoeffer: Holy Traitor proposes a reflection on moral courage, individual responsibility and the price of acting when so many have chosen silence.
With a sober cinematic approach and a script focused on the protagonist’s internal conflict, Bonhoeffer: Holy Traitor hits theaters on May 1st, distributed by NOS Audiovisuais, and is one of the most relevant historical dramas of the season.
