“A Mighty Girl Pick of the Day: “Sophie Scholl - The Final Days” directed by Marc Rothemund. This powerful film tells the true story of Germany’s most famous anti-Nazi heroines, Sophie Scholl. At the height of the Third Reich’s control of Germany, Sophie Scholl, her brother, and other students in Munich form a resistance group called The White Rose and distribute anti-Nazi literature. Before long, they are arrested and interrogated in preparation for a show trial. This tense interrogation between Scholl and Nazi interrogator Robert Mohr about questions of freedom and personal responsibility lies at the heart of the film. From every argument between Scholl and Mohr, distilled from historical records, to the tension of her trial, the film gives a stunning account of Scholl’s last six days. This moving and challenging film, which received an Oscar nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film in 2005, is an excellent way to introduce teens to the bravery and perseverance of those who resisted the Nazi regime, as well as to encourage discussion on larger questions of individual responsibility in the face of tyranny. This timely and profoundly moving film has been newly remastered in 4K. Highly recommended for both adults and teens, ages 13 and up.

Old experiments in graffiti. I love the look of graffiti but I am as white as they come so i worry it looks it. Street art is beautiful though, and we should work to preserve it.
