Truth and Treason

A gripping true story of teenage resistance in Nazi Germany, Truth and Treason follows sixteen year old Helmuth Hübener as he risks everything to expose the regime’s lies. Armed with a typewriter and forbidden broadcasts, he and his friends launch a secret campaign that tests faith, conscience and courage under the threat of the Gestapo. A powerful reminder of what it costs to speak truth when silence is demanded.
