A moving true story out of World War II, in which a German teenager is inspired to become essentially a one-man anti-Hitler underground movement in Hamburg. Production standards are pretty high across the board — directing, writing, music and especially acting. Ewan…

- Chris likedTruth & Treason
considering this was based on reality, i appreciate the attempts to cast the characters appearance similar to those irl. this movie explores what had happened during wwii, specifically with germans in germany and their choices, which isnt a side we hear about often. good message
SteveO likedTruth & TreasonA story you normally wouldn’t hear about for a WW2 film. Truth and Treason offers a glimpse of how innocence in Nazi Germany saw through the lies and hatred. A story that deserved to be told and to honor the young hero
Jen likedTruth & TreasonThis is a great movie! It’s amazing that it’s based on a true story. It’s a hard watch at times, but I think it’s not a great story of everyone should watch.
- Alexander likedTruth & Treason
Pretty decent. Haven’t heard this story before. Don’t know too much about the production company but apparently it’s controversial

- AHAmanda Harris
Courage to stand up and do what's right is not always easy. Would you die for the truth? We have to take a stand , even if it means there is a chance of dying. But, if you know the Lord, you know that death is not the end. The man's story was not in vain, not for nothing.…
VMValerie MoultrieVery insightful movie showing the inner consciousness of people and their dedication to and belief in the cause of freedom and justice
SASparky AndersonI can only hope & pray that I have that much Courage and Integrity in the face of staunch criticism and even death. I aspire to be half the man Helmut Hubener was
